The saga reached a favourable conclusion for Mawson late last week when he was found not guilty, the court citing “insufficient evidence” to convict.
The case has added to a turbulent period for Mawson who was also hit with a three-year anti-doping ban which expired last month.
Today he took to social media to outline how difficult the last few years have been, as well as indicate that an on-track comeback is on the cards.
“For the past three years, I have remained largely silent while navigating one of the most difficult periods of my life,” he wrote.
“During that time, I faced false allegations and the challenge of defending my name under intense public scrutiny. From the very beginning, I maintained my innocence and trusted that the truth would prevail.
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my legal team, Luc Vaney and Veronica Abu Zeid, for their tireless work, professionalism, and belief in justice.

“I am grateful that the Swiss justice system reached its verdict and that I was acquitted of all charges.
“I also want to thank everyone who stood by me, my family, friends, partners, fans, and supporters around the world.
“Your faith and encouragement gave me strength during the darkest moments, and I will never forget it.
“Today, I am turning the page.
“I am proud to announce my return to motorsport. I cannot wait to put my helmet back on, get behind the wheel, and focus on what has always been my greatest passion: racing.
“The past does not define me. My focus is on the future, and I am excited for what lies ahead.
“Thank you for continuing this journey with me.”
Mawson was competing in the now-defunct S5000 series when he was sidelined by the anti-doping ban.
He was also at that time on PremiAir Racing’s radar as a Supercars enduro driver, but was facing Superlicence issues even before having his entire licence stripped by Motorsport Australia.
