Lando Norris DISQUALIFIED from Las Vegas Grand Prix leaving Brit sweating in close world championship race
Lando Norris was sensationally disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix for running an illegal car – blowing the world championship wide open.
The British driver thought he had enjoyed a good day despite finishing second to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in Sin City, only to be summoned to the stewards two hours after the race finished.
At gone midnight in the Nevada desert, the stewards’ decision came in – Norris was chucked out for having a ‘rearmost skid less than required thickness’. So was his McLaren team-mate, Oscar Piastri, for the same transgression.
It means Verstappen narrows his deficit to Norris to 24 points with 58 available in the two final rounds, in Qatar next weekend, where there will also be a sprint race, and Abu Dhabi the one after.
