But Norris and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri — who finished fourth — were disqualified in the hours after the race for a rear skid plate violation.

McLaren's Formula One championship leader Lando Norris and title rival teammate Oscar Piastri were disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Sunday after finishing second and fourth respectively.

“Boy it was stressful as hell,” Norris said. “It was pretty nasty, probably some of the worst conditions, if not the worst. It was so slippery, so difficult.”
