Overview
- Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri lost second and fourth places after post‑race checks found their cars non‑compliant with plank thickness.
- Official measurements on Norris’s car included 8.88 mm front‑right and 8.93 mm rear‑right, below the required 9 mm.
- McLaren cited unexpected porpoising and curtailed practice running as mitigating factors, while the FIA noted the breach was involuntary but disqualification was mandatory.
- The revised result promoted George Russell to second, Andrea Kimi Antonelli to third, and Charles Leclerc to fourth behind winner Max Verstappen.
- Norris now leads the championship by 24 points over both Verstappen and Piastri with two races plus a Qatar Sprint remaining, leaving 58 points still available.
