Max Verstappen swept to victory at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in dominant fashion, enough as he crossed the line to keep him just clinging on to hopes of retaining the world championship. But more than four hours after the race had concluded, the Dutchman found himself catapulted right back into the fight as the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified.
Norris had finished second and Piastri fourth, solid enough results to maintain an advantage over Verstappen, but two hours after the race the governing body, the FIA, announced it was investigating the wear on the skid blocks on their cars.
