MEXICO CITY - The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) today released the first findings of its investigation into the dangerous situation at the Mexican Formula One Grand Prix. It said driver Liam Lawson was not directly to blame for the incident, which threatened to run over two track commissioners.
The critical situation occurred already on the third lap of the race. Although the federation acquitted the New Zealander Lawson of the charges, it is still investigating the case. The focus is now on the procedural errors and the communication that led to the risky entry of the staff onto the track.
The incident has reopened the debate about safety standards during races. The FIA has promised to take measures to ensure that similar threats to the lives of commissioners do not occur in the future.
