November 23, 2025
Max Verstappen has a fifth consecutive Formula 1 championship in reach after winning the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The disqualifications of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri for failing inspection have shaken up the standings. Verstappen now trails Norris by just 24 points with two races left. The FIA disqualified the McLaren drivers for not meeting skid wear requirements. Verstappen’s victory marks his second win in Las Vegas and his 69th career win. Despite his dislike for the event’s focus on showmanship, Verstappen excelled on the track. The championship race continues in Qatar next week.
