FIA Investigates Marshals' Near‑Miss With Lawson

Liam Lawson narrowly avoided hitting two marshals who ran onto the track as he rejoined the Mexico City Grand Prix after a lap-two pit stop to replace a damaged front wing. Onboard footage captured his radio expletive that he "could have f***ing killed them," and the clip circulated widely. Marshals had been alerted to recover debris after a turn-one incident and were reportedly placed on standby on lap three, but race control says the instruction to dispatch them was rescinded once Lawson pitted; nevertheless they entered the live track and double-yellow flags were subsequently displayed. The FIA has opened an investigation into the communication breakdown that allowed personnel onto the circuit in front of a car. Lawson called the incident "so dangerous" and "pretty unacceptable" and later retired from the race because of his earlier damage.
