McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are at risk of disqualification from the Las Vegas Grand Prix due to excessive skid wear on their cars. The FIA stewards investigated both cars after the race concluded.
The issue relates to the rearmost skid block on their cars, which was found to be less than the minimum required thickness of 9 mm, as stipulated by technical regulations. This measurement was taken according to the team's legality documents and the specific requirements of TD039 M.
If the stewards confirm the violation, both Norris and Piastri will be disqualified from the race. This potential penalty has significant implications for the championship standings, as Norris was in the lead, ahead of Piastri and Verstappen.
