Lawson Relieved as He Reveals FIA Support Following Mexican Near-Miss
Liam Lawson was cleared by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile after a near-miss with marshals, despite Mexico's OMDAI Sport blaming him for unsafe driving.
- On 06/11/2025, Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson rejoined the race and encountered two marshals running across the racing line at Turn One of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, and he said `I was very surprised`.
- An order for marshals to collect debris was rescinded when Lawson pitted out of sequence, eliminating the planned gap as the pack would pass through the Turn 1 and 2 chicane.
- Last week the FIA released an interim statement fully absolving Liam Lawson of blame after reviewing team and in-car data and apologised to him.
- OMDAI Sport Mexico initially blamed Lawson for insufficient caution as yellow flags were waved, and Lawson said he was surprised they posted that without research.
- The incident revived memories of the 1977 Tom Pryce marshal fatality, underlining trackside risks as the FIA is still investigating and urging improved safety measures for marshals.
