McLaren Drama: Norris-Piastri Crash in Canadian GP Raises New Questions

The collision between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Canadian GP — previously predicted by team boss Zak Brown — finally occurred and brought serious consequences for McLaren.

George Russell delivered an impressive performance to claim his first victory of the season for Mercedes — after securing pole position on Saturday and displaying dominant pace throughout the race.

McLaren’s MCL39 continues to show competitive performance, but the Gilles Villeneuve circuit proved they aren’t dominant at every track — particularly in areas requiring full confidence when attacking the kerbs.

Mercedes rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli achieved a remarkable result with a podium finish — justifying the faith shown by Toto Wolff in the 18-year-old Italian driver.

Home favorite Lance Stroll, returning after missing the Spanish GP — endured a disappointing race finishing last, in stark contrast to his teammate Fernando Alonso who managed to score points.
