Stewards decided not to penalize Liam Lawson for a heated exchange where he made a hand gesture toward Pierre Gasly during the Miami Grand Prix.
The incident occurred after the two drivers were involved in a tight on-track battle, leading to visible frustration from the young RB driver.
Officials reviewed the footage but determined that while the behavior was unprofessional, it did not violate specific sporting regulations requiring a time penalty.
Lawson admitted to the frustration of the moment, explaining that the high-intensity nature of the race led to the impulsive reaction.
Pierre Gasly downplayed the encounter after the race, suggesting that such emotions are common when fighting for positions in the midfield.
While he avoided a formal sporting penalty, the FIA may still issue a warning regarding driver conduct to ensure professional standards are maintained on camera.
