Red Bull’s take on Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson’s Mexico GP crash

Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies has labeled the collision between Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson during Friday practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix as an avoidable incident. Both drivers received a one-place grid penalty following the contact, which occurred while they were navigating the stadium section of the track.

Verstappen publicly criticized Lawson for his driving style, suggesting the rookie should be more cautious while competing for a future roster spot. Mekies dismissed the idea that Verstappen holds any authority over Racing Bulls driver selections, emphasizing that the teams manage their own personnel decisions independently.
