Ep54: Las Vegas GP double McLaren DSQ keeps Piastri & Verstappen in contention

The Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix has kept the World’s Drivers Champion wide open after both McLaren’s were disqualified after the race because the rear skid plates under the car were less than 9mm in depth. Dianne Bortoletto is joined by Ciara Gillan from Formula Live Pulse and together they break down the race, the championship, and what needs to happen for Oscar Piastri or Max Verstappen to beat Lando Norris in the Drivers Championship. They also talk about Ferrari’s woes, Lego’s pink Cadillac and Cadillac’s hopes, and they congratulate the winner of F1 Academy. Di also recounts an uneasy encounter with an actor when she was in Vegas. Max finished first ahead of Norris, and in third was George Russell in the Mercedes. Kimi Antonelli crossed the line in fourth place but with a 5-second penalty for a jump start placed fifth, behind Oscar Piasti who was promoted to fourth. None of that mattered because after the race Lando and Oscar were both disqualified scoring no points, promoting George Russell to second place, Kimi Antonelli into third, and awarding Max Verstappen with 25 points. Lando Norris, currently leading 24 points ahead of McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri, who is tied on 366 points with Max Verstappen, but Piastri sits higher on the leaderboard with 7 race wins to Max’s 6 this season. In a strange twist, the disqualification plays in Piastri’s favour with a smaller gap to championship leader Norris. With just two races and one sprint to go, it’s still a three way fight and the championship could go to any one of them.
