Lawson retired in Mexico with a ‘destroyed’ car

Racing Bulls endured a challenging Mexico City Grand Prix, with both Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar reflecting on a day to forget. Lawson's race ended prematurely after a lap 1 collision with Carlos Sainz, forcing his retirement due to extensive car damage. Stewards opted not to investigate the incident despite footage suggesting Sainz initiated contact. Meanwhile, Isack Hadjar, on a differing tire strategy, initially rose into the points but ultimately slipped back, unable to defend against competitors on newer compounds. Neither driver scored, marking a frustrating outing for Racing Bulls as they look to regroup for the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix amidst a tightening Constructors' Championship battle.
