Formula 1 champions Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have been hit with deleted lap times at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Dutchman was crowned the 2024 Formula 1 world champion on Saturday night, and joined the likes of Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel on four F1 titles.
However, Verstappen only finished the race in P5, but was awarded the championship after Lando Norris finished behind him in P6.
The glory in Las Vegas also belonged to Mercedes, where George Russell led Lewis Hamilton in a 1-2 for the team following a period of difficult races for the team.
Despite Hamilton and Verstappen’s achievements in Las Vegas, they did not escape scrutiny from the FIA.
The champions were both hit with deleted lap times, after they left the track at Turn 8.
Alongside the pair, Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc were also slammed with deleted lap times at Turns 8 and 17, but all drivers escaped a penalty and their results from the Las Vegas GP remain.
Following Verstappen’s fourth world title in Las Vegas, both him and Hamilton now have 11 world titles between them, but the Brit will be hoping to take the fight to his rival when he joins Ferrari in 2025.
