Summary
No penalty for Liam Lawson after leaving pitlane as red light activated, citing mitigating circumstances.
Explanation
Liam Lawson (Car 30) left the pitlane during Free Practice 1 just as the red light activated at the exit. He had been warned of 7 seconds remaining and focused on a non-official countdown clock above the exit, which still showed 2 seconds remaining. The stewards determined that the clock is not official and does not override the red light. However, given he was only 0.8 seconds from exit and stopping could have caused a safety risk, no penalty was imposed due to mitigating circumstances.
