RacingNews365 reports that Liam Lawson was disqualified from Mexico City Grand Prix qualifying after his Racing Bulls was found in breach of technical-regulation Articles C5.12.6 and C5.12.7. The outlet says Lawson was moved from ninth on the grid to the back; its adjusted table lists him 22nd.

The qualifying table lists Lewis Hamilton first, George Russell second and Charles Leclerc third. The article says Antonelli will start fourth, while the table lists him fifth; it does not explain the difference or identify the adjusted table as provisional or final.

This is a new report following our earlier article.

This is a qualifying-result update after Lawson’s disqualification, distinct from the earlier report of the qualifying result. Attribute the technical breach to RacingNews365 and keep its qualifying-table positions separate from its statement about the starting grid.
