McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have faced disqualification from the Las Vegas Grand Prix. This decision has intensified the Formula One title race as it alters the points standings significantly.

Norris and Piastri Disqualified from Las Vegas GP

The disqualification was announced after it was revealed that the skid blocks on both Norris and Piastri’s cars were below the required minimum depth. This ruling came on November 23, 2025, following the conclusion of the Las Vegas race.

Race Results and Current Standings

During the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Norris finished in second place, while Piastri secured fourth. However, due to the disqualification, both positions have now been nullified.

Lando Norris: Initially finished second, now disqualified.
Oscar Piastri: Initially finished fourth, now disqualified.
Max Verstappen: Finished first. Title contender.

Despite the disqualification, Norris still holds a 24-point lead over both Piastri and Verstappen. This lead is critical as the championship approaches its final stages.

Upcoming Challenges

The next race, taking place in Qatar, is crucial. With only two rounds left in the 2025 season, both Norris and his competitors are eager for points. The Qatar Grand Prix will feature a sprint race, offering additional points opportunities.

With a total of 58 points available in the last two races, Norris can clinch the championship in Qatar if he improves his score by just two points more than Verstappen and Piastri combined.

The battle for the title is heating up, with the stakes higher than ever as teams prepare for the penultimate matchup of the season.
