Red Bull has joked about McLaren's double disqualification from the Las Vegas Grand Prix in a social media post.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri ended the race in second and fourth respectively, while Max Verstappen took his sixth win of the season.
However, it quickly emerged that the Woking-based squad was in trouble with the stewards before it was declared that their floor planks exceeded the maximum wear allowed.
As a result, they were both thrown out of the race classification.
It offered Max Verstappen a significant boost in the drivers' championship as he now sits just 24 points down on Lando Norris with two rounds remaining.
Taking to social media, Red Bull's sim racing account posted a video of adjusting a car's set-up on the F1 25 game.
With the caption 'How not to get a DQ', the video shows the player adjusting the car's ride height in an obvious dig at the McLaren team.
