Norris, Piastri disqualified from Las Vegas GP, sparking F1 title race

Lando Norris, the driver of the Formula One championship, and Oscar Piastri, his teammate at McLaren, were suspended from the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday for technical violations.

After the race, it was determined that neither car’s skid blocks exceeded the required depth.

Red Bull’s title-chasing Max Verstappen, who had finished second, was followed by Piastri, who finished fourth.

With the disqualification, Norris will now be 24 points clear of both Piastri and Verstappen in Qatar’s final weekend race, which includes a sprint.

If Verstappen and Piastri earn two more points over the course of the weekend than both of them, Norris can win the title in Qatar with a maximum of 58 points in the final two Grands Prix.
