A frightening near-miss between Liam Lawson and two track marshals during last weekend’s Mexico City GP has taken an unexpected twist.
The drama unfolded after Lawson's opening-lap tangle with Williams’ Carlos Sainz, scattering car bits. Marshals dashed out to sweep up, waving double yellows to warn the pack.
After a pitstop to fit a new front wing, Lawson rejoined the proceedings and stumbled upon the two marshals scrambling across the track at Turn 1, just a few feet away from the Kiwi’s car.
Mexico’s motorsport federation, OMDAI, publicly blames the driver for putting the marshals at risk.
