Lando Norris admits his disqualification from the Las Vegas Grand Prix is ‘frustrating’ as his world championship bid took an extraordinary setback.

The Brit and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri were stripped of their second and fourth-placed finishes for driving cars that breached F1 rules.

Norris had finished as runner-up to Max Verstappen in Vegas to put him 42 points clear of the Dutchman in the title race with just 58 points to play for.

But the McLaren cars breached regulations around the thickness of the skid block on the floor of the car – and the points have now been lost.

‘A frustrating end to today,’ Norris, looking to win his first-ever F1 title, said following his disqualification.

‘We had to do some managing towards the end of the race and now we know it was due to some issues on our car, which have unfortunately resulted in us being disqualified. 

‘It’s frustrating to lose so many points. As a team, we’re always pushing to find as much performance as we can, and we clearly didn’t get that balance right today. 

‘Nothing I can do will change that now, instead full focus switches to Qatar, where we’ll aim to go out and deliver the best possible performance in every session.’
