Norris and Piastri Disqualified from Las Vegas GP, Intensifying F1 Title Battle
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri disqualified from Las Vegas GP for technical infringements, tightening the F1 title battle with Max Verstappen ahead of Qatar’s penultimate race.
In a dramatic turn of events at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified for technical infringements, reigniting the fight for the Formula One World Championship with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
The race stewards found that the skid blocks on both McLaren cars were below the minimum required depth, a breach of F1 regulations that led to their removal from the official results. Norris had originally finished second behind Verstappen, while Piastri crossed the line fourth.
This disqualification reshuffles the championship standings significantly. Despite the setback, Norris still leads the standings by 24 points over both Piastri and Verstappen heading into the penultimate race in Qatar, which features a sprint race format. With a maximum of 58 points available in the final two rounds, Norris could secure the championship if he outperforms Verstappen and Piastri by at least two points in Qatar.
The Las Vegas GP controversy adds tension to the season finale, with fans and pundits closely watching McLaren and Red Bull strategies. The disqualifications underscore the fine margins in Formula One, where technical compliance and precision engineering can make or break a championship.
As the F1 season heads into its final stretch, the championship race is now more unpredictable than ever, with Norris, Piastri, and Verstappen all within striking distance of the title.
