Chaos at the Mexican GP: Liam Lawson talks about a dangerous incident!

On October 27, 2025, Formula 1 was the stage for a slightly chaotic incident during the Mexico City Grand Prix that sent the crowd and drivers into a frenzy. Liam Lawson, the AlphaTauri team pilot, expressed concern about safety on the track after the race. According to his account, he almost collided with a marshal as he ran frantically across the road while Lawson returned to the track after a pit stop. A dangerous incident that cannot go unnoticed, as reported by News.de.

The situation arose after a collision that forced Lawson to make a pit stop. As he returned to the track, obvious double-waved yellow flags were active, requiring all drivers to reduce speed and stop if necessary. This happened due to debris lying on the track as Lawson entered the first corner. It is unclear whether the marshals were properly instructed in this situation, as the FIA ​​had previously ordered that they should only remove the debris after all the cars had passed the curve. However, the order was overturned when it was realized that Lawson had to make a pit stop, further complicating the situation.

Liam Lawson's career in Formula 1

Liam Lawson, born March 11, 2002 in Hastings, New Zealand, has established himself as a talented racing driver. He entered the European racing scene and already took second place in the Formula 4 ADAC 2018. His successes continued in the Toyota Racing Series, where he secured the championship in 2019. Lawson became part of the Red Bull Junior program and drove successfully in Formula 3 and Formula 2 in the following years. In 2023 he also joined the Super Formula Japonesa and is currently leading his team in second place in the championship , as Motorsport.com reports.

Last season was marked not only by success, but also by the challenges that came with replacing Daniel Ricciardo in Mexico City. Ricciardo was sidelined with a fracture and Lawson took over the wheel, marking a significant step in his career.

Safety aspects in motorsport

The incident in Mexico also raises important questions about safety in motorsports. In recent years, the FIA ​​has introduced numerous safety measures to protect drivers. Ayrton Senna's fatal accident in 1994 led to far-reaching changes in safety strategy. Stories of innovation, such as the introduction of carbon fiber for safety precautions and the Hans system, show how technology in racing has evolved. Of course, you can't risk everything that was previously practiced in Formula 1. A *security update* is essential in the future to avoid dangerous situations like Lawson's in Mexico , states Auto Motor und Sport.

Given these recent events, it remains to be seen what measures the FIA ​​will take to improve safety on the track and prevent such incidents. It is clear that both drivers and fans will always keep an eye on developments to ensure that the joy of motorsport is accompanied by the necessary safety.
