Max Verstappen Critiques Liam Lawson After Collision in Mexico GP Practice
Max Verstappen has voiced his disapproval of Liam Lawson after their collision during the second practice session for the Mexico Grand Prix. The incident occurred when both drivers raced wheel to wheel through the stadium sector, resulting in debris on the track.
Verstappen, who drives for Red Bull, noted that Lawson's actions were not wise, especially as he is competing for his future in Formula 1. The collision happened after Verstappen attempted an inside move at Turn 12, leading to contact when Lawson mirrored the maneuver at the next corner. Following the incident, a red flag was issued to clear the debris.
Verstappen finished the session in fifth place, 0.311 seconds behind the fastest driver, Charles Leclerc, and sustained damage from the clash. Red Bull's team principal, Laurent Mekies, acknowledged the impact of the incident on Verstappen's session. Meanwhile, Lawson ended the practice in ninth place, but his future with Red Bull remains uncertain as he competes for a permanent seat.
