Verstappen wins in Las Vegas; McLaren handed double disqualification

LAS VEGAS -- Max Verstappen claimed his second Las Vegas Grand Prix win ahead of championship leader Lando Norris to keep his title chances alive.

Norris took second place, but in a dramatic turn of events was later disqualified by stewards, along with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, for illegal plank wear.

The decision came five hours after the race finished and puts pressure on McLaren's drivers as Verstappen goes level with Piastri on points and Norris' lead is cut to 24 points.

There are a maximum of 58 points available with two grands prix remaining, including one sprint race at next week's Qatar Grand Prix.
