F1 Must Learn From Mexico's Terrifying Marshal Near-Miss

Soon after Lawson pitted, Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson narrowly missed hitting two marshals at the Mexico City Grand Prix and warned, `I could have f***ing killed them.`

Starting 15th, Lawson pitted immediately after damage on the opening lap and was out of sync with the field, which he said contributed to the dangerous encounter with marshals.
The FIA stated it was investigating after race control revoked marshals' instructions, and `We are still investigating what occurred after that point.` as Norris won the race in dominant form.
Safety concerns raised could prompt scrutiny of race-control protocols, as observers said they couldn't understand how marshals ran across the track live, and Lawson demanded, `I have no idea why, I'm sure we'll get some sort of explanation, but it really can't happen again.
