Lindblad offers verdict on Piastri collision in Mexico

Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad reflected on his premature exit from the Mexico City Grand Prix following a late-race collision with McLaren's Oscar Piastri while fighting for seventh place. Lindblad expressed satisfaction with his competitive pace and overall performance over the weekend, noting that he felt he had regained his confidence and rhythm after a difficult period following crashes earlier in the season. Meanwhile, teammate Liam Lawson delivered an impressive recovery drive from a pit lane start. Despite suffering early race misfortune with untimely pit stops during a Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car period, Lawson capitalized on Piastri's post-race penalty and penalties for other drivers to ultimately secure a strong points finish.
