Overview
- The Miami Grand Prix crash, which happened Sunday at Turn 17, flipped Pierre Gasly’s Alpine and ended both drivers’ races.
- Stewards reviewed in-car data, telemetry and radio traffic, confirmed a gearbox failure under braking, and issued no penalty to Liam Lawson.
- Racing Bulls reported a broken fifth gear, and Lawson said the car went into neutral under braking, leaving him without engine braking or stopping power.
- Gasly walked away unhurt, called the clash totally avoidable, and said Lawson visited to apologize after the race.
- The double retirement cost likely midfield points and put a spotlight on Racing Bulls’ gearbox reliability heading into the next rounds.
