Excellent! Looks like there won't be any more rain. My prediction: 1. Verstappen 2. Norris 3. Russell 4. Piastri 38 minutes until lights out. Track is dry.

Yep, Piastri is stuffed now.

Looks like Norris has the championship in the bag and Max will be pretty close.

Interesting last 2 races coming up. Cool

Both McLarens thrown out of Las Vegas GP in huge F1 title twist

McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have been disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix for technical infringements.

Both the MCL39s of Norris and Piastri were found to have excessive plank wear and failed to meet the 9mm thickness requirement of the rear skid block after they finished second and fourth in Sin City.

McLaren being thrown out of the grand prix marks a huge and dramatic twist in the F1 title race, leaving Norris 24 points ahead of both Max Verstappen and Piastri going into the final two rounds of the season.

But McLaren’s double disqualification has handed the Dutchman’s seemingly faint hopes of becoming a five-time world champion an unexpected boost heading into the penultimate race of the campaign in Qatar.

There are a maximum of 58 points left up for grabs across the two remaining grands prix and final sprint race in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

McLaren’s exclusion promotes Mercedes pair George Russell and Kimi Antonelli up to second and third place respectively on the podium.

McLaren running cars with ride height too low.

Wet qualifying probably caught McLaren out lower top speed on straight reduced downforce.
Parc Ferme rules meant they couldn't change it for race.

Fiberglass plank is 10mm must be at least 9mm after race Oscars was around 8.9mm front and rear.

They were close to DSQ in Interlagos with plank wear at COTA they raised Oscars car to be safe which they later said cost him performance

If Lando cracks under pressure at Qatar it could be a 3 way battle in final round.

Pic of one of greatest F1 drivers setup has too much grip ripping the crap out of the tyres looks good but it will be slow and harder to drive.

That disqualification was crazy.

As it stands now:

Norris - 390 points

Verstappen - 366 points

Piastri - 366 points

Plank rule came in after Senna and Ratzenberger were killed at Imola in 1994.
