Summary
No further action against Liam Lawson following collision with Pierre Gasly at Turn 17 due to confirmed gearbox failure.
Explanation
The stewards investigated a collision between Car 30 (Liam Lawson) and Car 10 (Pierre Gasly) at Turn 17, where Gasly was forced into the barriers after an outside pass attempt. Evidence including telemetry, in-car data, and team radio confirmed a sudden gearbox failure in Lawson's car just before the incident. The stewards accepted that the failure was mechanical and not due to driver error, and that Lawson could not have anticipated it. As the collision was caused by a mechanical failure rather than a breach of driving standards, no further action was taken. The cited regulation (Appendix L, Chapter IV, Article 2 d) relates to causing a collision, but was not deemed applicable on these facts.
