Liam Lawson Apologizes to Verstappen, Then Gets Disqualified From Mexico Qualifying

Liam Lawson apologized to Max Verstappen for their Mexico GP practice clash, then was disqualified from qualifying over a separate MGU-K rules breach. It was an unnecessary situation in FP2 when Racing Bulls’ Lawson and Red Bull’s Verstappen came together at the end of the lap. There was a communication gap as both were preparing for a push lap at the same time. Verstappen was asked to clear Lawson, but the Kiwi didn’t budge, and the sequence led to contact and damage to both cars.
