Lawson Escapes Further Punishment for Frightening F1 Crash

  • On Sunday, Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson collided with Alpine driver Pierre Gasly at the Miami Grand Prix, forcing both drivers to retire from the race with car damage.
  • Lawson later attributed the collision to a sudden gearbox failure and apologized to Gasly for the incident. "It's destroying something, I can hear it," Lawson told Racing Bulls engineers.
  • At Turn 17 on Lap 5, Gasly's Alpine flipped 360 degrees after contact with Lawson's car, coming to rest on the tire barrier. The incident triggered a Safety Car until the restart on Lap 12.
  • Race commentators suggested Lawson may receive a grid penalty for the Canadian Grand Prix in three weeks. Lawson remains 10th overall in the championship standings after four rounds.
  • This marked Lawson's second consecutive retirement in Miami, having exited in the opening lap last year. The race began chaotically, with Max Verstappen spinning at the start and Red Bull teammate Isack Hadjar crashing before Gasly's incident.
