Key Points:
- Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson were summoned by FIA stewards after a collision during Friday's FP2 session at the Mexican Grand Prix, which caused a red flag due to debris on the track.
- The incident occurred at Turn 13 when Verstappen attempted an inside move on Lawson, leading to contact that damaged Lawson’s front wing and Verstappen’s bargeboard.
- Both drivers faced a post-session investigation, with experts suggesting the clash was unnecessary and detrimental to their weekend due to lost components and compromised performance.
- Verstappen finished FP2 in fifth place, three-tenths behind Charles Leclerc, while Lawson ended ninth, narrowly behind his Racing Bulls teammate Arvid Lindblad.
- Racing Bulls has not yet confirmed its 2027 F1 driver lineup, with Lawson, Lindblad, and Nikola Tsolov all still in contention for the two available seats.
