Summary
Liam Lawson receives a one-grid penalty and one penalty point for unacceptable driving in an incident with Max Verstappen during Free Practice 2.
Explanation
The stewards found that both Liam Lawson (Car 30) and Max Verstappen (Car 3) drove unnecessarily and clumsily during a preparation/cool-down lap, engaging in a series of moves from Turn 12 to Turn 14. Despite both drivers admitting the moves, the stewards decided to escalate the penalty to a one-grid position drop for Lawson, plus one penalty point (total 4 in 12 months), citing a prior warning at the Team Managers meeting and similar incidents in practice.
