Lawson disqualified from Mexican Grand Prix qualifying after MGU-K breach
Liam Lawson was disqualified from the Mexican Grand Prix qualifying in Mexico City after his car was found to be below the minimum MGU-K power requirement, forcing him to start the race from the back of the grid. The sanction followed a practice incident in which Lawson and Max Verstappen made contact, prompting the FIA stewards to open an investigation and briefly red-flag the session. Verstappen later described Lawson’s overtaking attempt as unwise, and the stewards handed both drivers a one-place grid penalty.
