Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix
McLaren say the problem that caused the disqualification of both their cars from the Las Vegas Grand Prix was a concern from the beginning of the race.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were disqualified from second and fourth place respectively after the race when it was found that their cars' skid blocks had worn out too much.
Team principal Andrea Stella said McLaren did "not believe we took excessive risk with the ride-height" and that the team had "added a safety margin" intended to limit skid wear in qualifying and race.
He said the team noticed an aerodynamic phenomenon known as "porpoising", where a car bounces up and down into the ground, "from the early laps of the race".
