Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson have each been demoted one position on the starting grid for the Mexican Grand Prix following an incident during qualifying. The penalty comes after Lawson accused Verstappen of driving into him, according to reports from the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Saturday.

Both drivers, representing Oracle Red Bull Racing, will start the race from one place lower than their qualifying results. The stewards' decision was announced ahead of Sunday's race at the Mexico City circuit.
