New Zealand's Formula One driver Liam Lawson has been disqualified from qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix due to a technical breach, race stewards announced on Sunday.
Lawson, who drives for the Racing Bulls team, had his qualifying times cancelled after his car was found to be in violation of technical regulations. The specific nature of the breach was not immediately disclosed.
The decision promotes other drivers on the grid for the race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City. Lawson will start from the back of the grid, pending any further penalties.
