LAS VEGAS -- A stunning and potentially championship-altering development unraveled in the hours immediately following the Las Vegas Grand Prix early Sunday morning as McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified for skid wear that was less than the required thickness.

Norris had finished second and Piastri fourth in the race behind winner and fellow championship contender Max Verstappen.

The post-race inspection by F1A technical delegates found the rearmost skid wear on both McLaren MCL39 machines was found to be below the minimum 9mm thickness, leading a referral to race stewards. A re-measurement, in the presence of McLaren representatives, not only confirmed the violation but the measurements were even lower than first measured by the technical delegate.
