Overview
- OMDAI Sport Mexico publicly assigned fault to Liam Lawson, arguing he did not slow sufficiently under double-waved yellows and failed to alter his line.
- Mexico’s federation backed its conclusion with screenshots from Lawson’s onboard camera that it says show the marshals were clearly visible.
- The FIA said marshals had been placed on standby to clear debris but that the dispatch was rescinded once Lawson pitted, with double yellows shown, and it is still investigating what happened next.
- The near-miss occurred on lap three as Lawson rejoined after a pit stop and encountered two marshals crossing between Turns 1 and 2; it was not investigated during the race and was not shown on the world feed.
- Analysts questioned OMDAI’s public blame assignment and noted its statement is separate from any FIA finding, while Lawson called the situation dangerous and unacceptable.
