McLaren team-mates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided with four laps to go in the Canadian Grand Prix when fighting over fourth; Norris immediately took complete blame for the crash and said sorr

George Russell won Formula One’s 2025 Canadian Grand Prix for Mercedes ahead of Max Verstappen, while behind the title-contending McLaren drivers collided and Lando Norris retired. The incident occurred just as Oscar Piastri and Norris were homing in on Kimi Antonelli’s third place late in the race,

Piastri was sitting in fourth place with Norris right behind him, but disaster struck for McLaren when the British driver tried to shoot through a gap that wasn't there. Norris clipped his teammate and then collided with the wall, ending his race as a safety car was deployed.

George Russell said he hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will continue to throw away points to propel him into this season’s world championship fight. Russell won from pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix to claim his first triumph of the year and just the fourth of his career.

If Lando Norris thought his ability to withstand the pressure of a title race was coming under scrutiny following a few dodgy qualifying performances this season, he is going to find himself under a serious microscope now.
