Liam Lawson's challenging race weekend at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez took another dramatic turn after FIA officials flagged a potential technical infraction on his Racing Bulls challenger. Following earlier tensions in practice sessions involving world champion Max Verstappen, the young driver now faces the threat of losing his qualifying result altogether.
FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer formally referred car number 30 to the stewards after telemetry data indicated an alleged breach of power regulations. According to the official governing body document, the irregularity occurred immediately after the driver crossed the finish line during his fastest lap in the Q2 session.
The official bulletin explicitly stated that the car violated Articles C5.12.6 and C5.12.7 of the technical regulations. Investigators identified that the driver's maximum power demand and the direct current electrical power from the ERS-K system dropped at rates exceeding the strict limits permitted by the rulebook.
This sudden technical setback puts the team's hard-fought ninth-place grid position in serious jeopardy. Should the stewards uphold the technical infringement, the resulting penalty could strip the driver of his hard-earned qualifying spot, completely derailing their race strategy for the upcoming grand prix.
Paddock attention remains firmly fixed on the stewards' office as the team awaits the final verdict. With the championship battle tightening up, every technical compliance detail carries immense weight for the remainder of the weekend.
