RacingNews365 reports that Verstappen and Lawson made contact in Mexico GP FP2, damaging Verstappen's car and prompting a red flag before the session resumed.

Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson made contact during second practice for the Mexico Grand Prix, damaging Verstappen's bodywork and leaving debris on the track, RacingNews365 reports. The outlet says the debris prompted a red flag while marshals cleared the circuit; the session later resumed.

RacingNews365's account says Verstappen tried to pass Lawson, who kept his car in place; Verstappen then did likewise in the next corner before the cars touched. The outlet says the stewards had noted the incident and it could still be examined, but reports no ruling or penalty.

Not verified with the FIA.

The report documents a session interruption and resumption, but does not establish fault or an official penalty.
