Oscar Piastri has received an apology from his McLaren bosses over their disastrous Las Vegas Grand Prix — but the disqualified Australian ace now faces the prospect of even missing out on the runner’s-up spot in the F1 world championship.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were both disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix in a dramatic moment in the 2025 F1 title race.
