Liam Lawson was disqualified from qualifying for the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix following an FIA technical breach. Multiple outlets reported that the decision came after a stewards investigation on Saturday.
Before the disqualification, Lawson had progressed into Q3 for Racing Bulls at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez as both team cars reached the final phase of qualifying. Reports variously listed him as eighth or ninth in the session, but all indicated he had secured a top-10 starting position.
The disqualification means Lawson loses that qualifying result and will start at the back of the grid for the Mexican Grand Prix. The development added to an eventful weekend for the New Zealander in Mexico.
