Possible Disqualification Shakes Up the Las Vegas Grand Prix
Las Vegas, Nevada – The Las Vegas Grand Prix could face a significant shake-up following an FIA investigation. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, both drivers, could be disqualified due to issues related to skid wear on their respective single-seaters. The news comes after Max Verstappen took the victory, leaving Norris in second place. This result had boosted Norris in the fight for the championship. The FIA’s investigation focused on Norris and Piastri’s vehicles immediately after the race. If disqualification is confirmed, the championship could take an unexpected turn.
If confirmed, the sanction would imply the disqualification of both vehicles from the race.“The wear of the skids of cars number 81 and 04 was verified. The rear skid was measured in both cars according to the presentation of the team’s legality documents, in accordance with TD039 M, article 1.2 b) i). The measured thickness was less than 9 mm in both cars, which is the minimum thickness required by article TR 3.5.9 e). I refer this matter to the stewards for their consideration.”
