Mexico’s Motorsport Body Blames Lawson for Near-Miss With Marshals as FIA Probes Incident

The federation says onboard images show he held his line despite double yellow flags.

Overview

  • The near-miss happened on lap three between Turns 1 and 2 as two marshals crossed to clear debris from Lawson’s lap-one contact with Carlos Sainz.
  • OMDAI says Racing Bulls warned Lawson about double yellows, requiring a significant speed reduction, readiness to stop and no overtaking.
  • The federation released onboard screenshots asserting he maintained his line through Turn 1 despite workers on the track.
  • Lawson called the episode unacceptable and said he nearly hit a marshal.
  • The FIA said marshals were put on standby, the dispatch was then rescinded with double yellows shown, and it is still investigating; stewards did not review the incident during the race.
