The two cars made contact, sending Lindblad off the circuit and into the tyre barriers at the Aut\u00f3dromo Hermanos Rodr\u00edguez, prompting Race Control to deploy the Safety Car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lindblad had been running <strong>seventh<\/strong> when Piastri approached the opening corner and attempted to gain a position around the outside. With limited space available, the Australian&#8217;s McLaren made contact with the Racing Bulls, destabilising Lindblad&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lindblad becomes airborne before hitting tyre barriers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collision occurred in the heavy braking zone for Turn 1, where Piastri attempted to remain alongside Lindblad on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The McLaren struck the Racing Bulls, sending Lindblad off the racing line.<\/strong> The car briefly lifted from the ground before continuing into the tyre barriers beyond the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact brought Lindblad&#8217;s race to an abrupt halt, with Race Control deploying the Safety Car to allow marshals to attend to the scene and recover the damaged vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was no immediate confirmation of Lindblad&#8217;s physical condition or whether the stewards would investigate the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accident came during a difficult race for Piastri, who had already endured a disappointing qualifying session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Australian <a href=\"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/f1\/mexico-f1-grid-changes-again-lawson-sent-to-back-as-hamilton-leads-and-antonelli-eyes-title\/\">failed to reach Q3 and was classified 13th in qualifying<\/a>, before moving to 12th on the revised grid following Liam Lawson&#8217;s technical disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Another Safety Car interrupts chaotic Mexican GP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collision added another interruption to a race already marked by a major accident involving Valtteri Bottas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cadillac driver suffered an apparent front-left suspension failure under braking for Turn 1, crashing into the protective barriers and prompting a Safety Car followed by a red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cadillac subsequently confirmed that <strong>Bottas exited his car without assistance and was taken to the Medical Centre for precautionary checks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The race had also featured a controversial opening-lap battle between Ferrari teammates Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/f1\/hamilton-accuses-ferrari-teammate-leclerc-of-pushing-him-off-track-at-mexican-gp-start\/\">Hamilton accused Leclerc of pushing him off the track<\/a>, while the FIA handed the Monegasque a five-second penalty for leaving the circuit and gaining an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The stewards had not announced a decision on the Piastri-Lindblad collision at the time of the Safety Car deployment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GRANDE
