McLaren hit by FIA penalty at Las Vegas

The papaya team suffered a nightmare start at Vegas after Oscar Piastri was hit with a penalty for a false start.

Oscar Piastri has been given a penalty at the Las Vegas Grand Prix

The Australian star was given a five-second penalty for the infringement, as replays appeared to show Piastri lining up outside of his grid box.

McLaren served the penalty when Piastri came into pit, as the 23-year-old rejoined the track further down the field.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Zak Brown said: "Very marginal, you can’t really contest it. It is what it is, we’ve served our penalty."

The likes of Ferrari and Red Bull will therefore now try to capitalise on the mistake in the battle for the constructors' title that looks set to go down to the wire.
