Overview
- FIA stewards stripped Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri of their Las Vegas GP results after post-race inspections recorded underfloor wear below the mandated 9.00 mm.
- Official documents cited specific readings on both cars, including 8.88 mm and 8.93 mm on Norris’s MCL39 and 8.96 mm and 8.74 mm on Piastri’s.
- The revised standings place Max Verstappen level on points with Piastri and 24 behind leader Norris, with 58 points still available across Qatar’s sprint weekend and the Abu Dhabi finale.
- McLaren argued limited practice data and unexpected high‑speed bouncing as mitigating factors, but stewards applied the strict technical rule as in earlier 2025 cases for Lewis Hamilton (China) and Nico Hülkenberg (Bahrain).
- Result changes promote George Russell to second and Kimi Antonelli to third, with Nico Hülkenberg up to seventh, while McLaren retains the right to challenge the decision through an appeal.
