FIA address two key issues at the Mexico City Grand Prix
The FIA has addressed two controversial moments at the 2025 F1 Mexico City Grand Prix, involving Liam Lawson’s encounter with marshals on track and the Virtual Safety Car deployed for Carlos Sainz’s stricken Williams.
During the early stages of the race, Lawson narrowly avoided a serious accident with marshals clearing debris, expressing shock and concern over team radio.
The FIA confirmed that marshals were prepared to clear the debris once all cars had passed Turn 1 and are investigating the events that followed Lawson’s pit stop.
The Virtual Safety Car was triggered later in the race due to Sainz’s car stopping in a precarious position, neutralizing the race until the car was moved to safety.
This decision hindered Max Verstappen’s chance to challenge Charles Leclerc and prevented Oscar Piastri from attacking Ollie Bearman.
