New video footage has surfaced, revealing the close call Liam Lawson had with two track marshals who crossed the track during the Mexico City Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver had to slow down to avoid a potential disaster on the third lap of the race.
The marshals stationed at turn one were advised to wait for all cars to clear the area before entering the track to remove debris. Unfortunately, they were unaware that Lawson had already visited the pit lane for a front wing replacement due to damage from the opening lap.
During the event, the 23-year-old expressed shock over the radio, stating his disbelief at the situation and the potential danger that was narrowly avoided. Lawson’s quick reactions were crucial in preventing a serious incident.
After the Grand Prix, Lawson continued to express astonishment, highlighting the risky situation the marshals were in and emphasizing the need for better communication and safety protocols on the track.
In response to the incident, the FIA issued a statement addressing the circumstances that led to the dangerous situation, stating that an investigation is ongoing to understand the sequence of events and prevent such incidents in the future.
