The FIA have announced that McLaren F1 stars Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have been disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The FIA have disqualifed McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri from the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Norris was initially classified second and Piastri fourth, but their rear skids were found to be below the minimum threshold during scrutineering tests. Despite McLaren’s protestations, including unexpected porpoising and a disrupted practice weekend, the disqualification was upheld due to the breach of Technical Regulations. This incident mirrors Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification in March for a similar violation. As a result, Norris still holds a 24-point lead in the championship standings over Piastri with two races remaining.
