The Las Vegas Grand Prix took an unexpected turn for McLaren as both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified after post-race checks revealed their cars had excessive plank wear. Norris had finished second and Piastri fourth, but the FIA ruled that their skid-blocks fell below the minimum 9mm thickness required by the regulations.
McLaren explained that unexpected bouncing and limited practice time contributed to the issue, but the rules leave no room for exceptions. The decision reshapes the 2025 championship battle, putting Max Verstappen back in strong contention with only two races left.
The team apologised to fans and promised a full review as the title fight heads toward an intense finish.
