New video footage has surfaced revealing the close call Liam Lawson had with two track marshals during the Mexico City Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing driver had to abruptly slow down on the third lap to avoid a potential collision.

The incident unfolded when marshals stationed at turn one were instructed to wait for all cars to pass before clearing debris on the track. Unaware that Lawson had made a pit stop to replace a damaged front wing after the first lap, the marshals ran across the track, narrowly escaping a dangerous situation.

In a moment of shock captured over the radio, the 23-year-old expressed disbelief, emphasizing the risk involved and the potential consequences of the marshals’ actions. Lawson’s alertness and quick reaction were highlighted in footage from the event, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

Reflecting on the incident, Lawson voiced his astonishment at the dangerous encounter, questioning the protocols in place for track safety and expressing concern over the miscommunication that led to the near-miss. He stressed the need for accountability and prevention of such incidents in the future.

Following the alarming incident, the FIA issued a statement acknowledging the mishap and initiating an investigation to ascertain the circumstances that led to the incident. The organization clarified the sequence of events and precautionary measures taken after realizing Lawson’s pit stop.
