Lawson questions no-action call after Lindblad clash in Baku

Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad were involved in a collision during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku. The contact happened after a safety car period caused by Alexander Albon’s lap-30 crash, with Lawson running 12th and Lindblad 14th before the restart.

Lawson said he did not understand why the stewards took no further action after the incident, which he said damaged his floor and spun him around. Lindblad later interrupted Lawson during an interview to apologise for the restart clash.

The incident drew attention because it involved team-mates, and the FIA subsequently explained its decision not to issue a penalty. Multiple outlets reported Lawson’s confusion over the outcome and Lindblad’s response after the race.
