Overview
- Liam Lawson narrowly avoided two marshals who ran across the circuit at Turn 1 shortly after his early pit stop during the Mexico City Grand Prix.
- Reports indicated debris warnings and double-waved yellow flags in the sector when the marshals were clearing the track as Lawson arrived at speed.
- Lawson’s radio captured his shock as he said he could have killed them, and he later described the situation as dangerous and unacceptable.
- The near-miss was not shown on the F1 world feed, but onboard footage from Lawson’s car spread on social media as media outlets sought FIA comment.
- Lawson retired a few laps later due to damage from his opening-lap contact, while the governing body’s public explanation had not been issued at the time of reporting.
