McLaren disqualification, explained: Why Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri were penalized at Las Vegas Grand Prix
Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri, were disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix for the thickness of the rearmost skid of their cars being less than the required thickness. Specifically, the rearmost skid wear on their cars was "below the minimum 9mm thickness by technical delegates on inspection."
Lando Norris rolled off pole position in Las Vegas, but the confidence from his stellar qualifying didn’t survive the first corner.
From the F1 Paddock to the T-Mobile Zone at Sphere, the Las Vegas race was packed with A-listers as they watched the drivers battle it out on the track, which ultimately saw Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen take home the top prize.
