Neon lights, plank-gate drama, and a title fight turned upside down: the 2025 Las Vegas GP delivered, in-race and post-race. McLaren’s double disqualification flipped the podium, rookies stole headlines, and Max Verstappen reminded everyone why he’s still the boss. Here’s how every driver fared under the brightest spotlight in motorsport.
Oscar Piastri – McLaren (DSQ) 6.5/10
Lawson collision wrecked his start, traffic stalled the recovery and plank wear erased everything. Looked set for a quiet points finish until the FIA delivered the knockout blow. A night that started badly and ended in disaster.
Lando Norris – McLaren (DSQ) 8/10
Took pole, tried to cut off Max into Turn 1 but ran too deep. Still, looked every inch the 2025 champion until the plank measurement said otherwise. Drove impeccably; disqualified anyway. Heartbreaking way to lose a world title – should such a defeat come to pass.
