FIA Investigates Marshals' Near‑Miss With Lawson

Liam Lawson narrowly avoided a potentially fatal collision when two marshals ran onto the live circuit in front of him at the Mexico City Grand Prix after he rejoined following an opening‑lap pit stop to repair front‑wing damage. Onboard footage of the near‑miss circulated on social media while the world feed did not show the clip. The FIA said marshals had been placed on standby to clear debris and that the instruction to dispatch them was rescinded once Lawson pitted, but they nevertheless entered the track, and the governing body has opened an investigation. Lawson called the incident "unacceptable," saying it exposed serious miscommunication about marshalling and safety protocols. He retired shortly afterwards and McLaren’s Lando Norris won the race.
