The Mexican motorsport authority has questioned Liam Lawson’s driving during the much-publicised marshals-on-track incident during the 2025 Mexican GP, in a surprising fresh escalation of the matter
During the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix, there was a concerning incident involving Formula 1 marshals narrowly missing a collision, leading to the Mexican motorsport authority questioning Liam Lawson’s actions.
OMDAI, the Mexican member of the FIA, criticized Lawson for his shocked reaction and language used when passing the marshals recovering debris on track during the race.
Despite apologizing to Lawson, the FIA defended the marshals’ presence on the track for safety reasons in a 10-point statement, suggesting Lawson may have breached regulations by not deviating from his driving line.
While Lawson’s onboard footage shows he slowed down under double-waved yellow flags and was prepared to stop, OMDAI claims he should have been more cautious in his approach to the marshals.
The incident has raised questions about safety protocols and the responsibilities of drivers in similar situations, with ongoing pressure on the FIA to address the matter thoroughly.
