Late, late drama hit the Las Vegas Grand Prix as Saturday became Sunday in Nevada, with McLaren stars Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri disqualified for excessive skid block wear.

The pair were classified second and fourth respectively before post-race technical inspections, but had those positions stripped for running their cars in a condition contrary to the rules.

The decision completely changes the complexion of the weekend – from Norris leaving Vegas with one hand on the championship trophy and more than a race lead over his nearest rival to him having two drivers less than a single win behind him coming into the final stanza of the season.

Meanwhile, McLaren's loss was Mercedes' gain, as the double DQ promoted George Russell up to second place and Kimi Antonelli from fifth to third – a great result after starting 17th and picking up a five-second false start penalty.

2025 rule change removes fastest lap point

Fastest lap points have been abolished for 2025. Since 2019, drivers have picked up an extra point if they finish in the top 10 and achieve the fastest lap.

However, this led to some drivers abandoning their races to pit and fit a set of new tyres at the end of a race in order to claim the fastest lap point, or to stop a rival from getting the extra point.

The most famous example of this in 2024 came during Daniel Ricciardo's final F1 race, when the Australian finished last but claimed the fastest lap on the final lap of the Singapore GP, taking the extra point away from Lando Norris and helping Max Verstappen's title bid.
