Liam Lawson expressed his gratitude towards the FIA for reaching out to discuss the near-miss incident involving F1 marshals during the Mexico City Grand Prix.
After the incident, the FIA announced an investigation, but Mexico’s motorsport federation surprisingly blamed the 23-year-old driver.
Lawson had to take evasive action due to a miscommunication between race control and trackside workers during the third lap at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
The FIA defended Lawson, stating he reacted appropriately to the yellow flags and that he did not fail to take avoiding action as alleged by the Mexican racing authority.
Despite initially being blamed, Lawson appreciated the FIA’s apology for the incident and emphasized the importance of preventive measures in such situations.
He was still taken aback by the blame game played by the Mexican Automobile Club and reiterated his surprise at the accusations made against him.
