Liam Lawson Disqualified from Mexico City Grand Prix Qualifying

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.
