Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have been disqualified from F1’s Las Vegas GP after failing to pass the FIA’s post-race technical inspections.
“Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified from Formula 1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix for failing to pass post-race technical inspections, following an alleged breach of Article 3.5.9 of the F1 Technical Regulations. The stewards found that the plank assembly thickness was below the permitted minimum. Despite McLaren’s arguments about track conditions and the nature of the failure, the stewards upheld the disqualification decision, emphasizing that it was unintentional but still warranted. As a result, Mercedes secured a double podium, and Norris’ title ambitions took a significant hit, as he now leads Verstappen by only 24 points with two races remaining in the season.”
