McLaren have issued an official team statement regarding the disqualification of drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri from the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The FIA made the decision after technical delegate Jo Bauer’s report showed excessive wear on their skid blocks. This setback erased Norris’ second-place and Piastri’s fourth-place finishes, impacting their championship chances. With Red Bull’s Max Verstappen now very close in points, McLaren has apologized for the unintentional breach and promised to investigate the issue. Despite the disappointment, the team remains focused on the remaining races as the championship battle continues to heat up.
