"On Friday the FIA responded by dismissing the assertion. Having analysed the telemetry from the incident, we can confirm that the driver of Car #30, Liam Lawson, slowed appropriately and reacted correctly to the double yellow flags displayed in the area, braking earlier than in other laps and passing significantly slower than racing speed into Turn 1. He is not at fault in this incident, the statement read."
"Mate. Oh my god, are you kidding me? Did you just see that? he said to his engineer on team radio. I could have fucking killed them. After the race he was outraged that the marshals had been placed in such danger apparently without being informed that he was out of time with the rest of the field after pitting early. I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing, he said."
The FIA issued a statement finding Liam Lawson not at fault after an incident in which two marshals ran across the track in front of him at the Mexico Grand Prix. The Mexican federation Omdai attempted to hold Lawson responsible, claiming the marshals should have been visible and that Lawson did not alter his line. The FIA dismissed that assertion after analysing telemetry showing Lawson slowed earlier than other laps, reacted to double yellow flags and passed significantly slower into Turn 1. Lawson had pitted earlier, rejoined the race, and expressed outrage that marshals were clearing debris on a live track.
