Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collide as George Russell triumphs at Canadian GP
Lando Norris crashed out of the Canadian Grand Prix following a sensational 200mph collision with McLaren team-mate and championship rival Oscar Piastri. As George Russell delivered a faultless drive to win from pole position ahead of Red Bull rival Max Verstappen, Norris banged into the back of Piastri as they duelled for fourth place with three laps to go. Norris attempted to pass Piastri across the start-finish line but he misjudged the move and hit his team-mate's car. GEORGE RUSSELL WINS IN CANADA! 👏🏆 A controlled victory for the Mercedes driver who withstands the pressure from Max Verstappen behind 💪#F1 #CanadianGP — Formula 1 (@F1) June 15, 2025 Norris was forced to park his damaged McLaren and immediately accepted blame for the incident. 'It is all my bad,' he said on the radio 'All my fault. Unlucky. Stupid from me.' The race ended behind the safety car with Kimi Antonelli taking third place – his first podium in Formula One – to complete a strong afternoon for Mercedes. Piastri was able to continue to cross the line in fourth and extend his championship lead from 10 points to 22. Following their collision at the last round in Spain, all eyes were on pole-sitter Russell and second-placed Verstappen at the start in Montreal. Russell's reaction time was quicker than Verstappen's, and by the time they arrived for the opening left-right chicane, he was comfortably ahead. Even Verstappen, not adverse to a bold move, was unable to do anything to challenge Russell and the Mercedes man led. Verstappen kept him honest for the opening handful of laps but by the start of the sixth lap, Russell was more than a second ahead, and crucially out of DRS range. Russell, centre right, celebrates his victory (Christinne Muschi/AP) Further back, and Piastri had lost a place to Antonelli on the first lap. Music to the ears of Norris, who made two mistakes in qualifying to start the 10th round of the campaign four places behind his title rival. Norris was on the move on lap 11 to take Fernando Alonso on the back straight for sixth before sailing clear of Lewis Hamilton four laps later. Hamilton endured another poor afternoon after he sustained damage to his Ferrari after he hit a groundhog before taking the chequered flag in sixth. Norris started on the hard tyre compound which allowed him to run longer in the race and he assumed the lead on lap 16. 'We need one of those amazing races from you,' said his engineer, Will Joseph. Norris relinquished the lead on lap 29 when he eventually stopped. His second stint on the medium tyres lasted only 16 laps and he when he rejoined the track after his second stop, Piastri was 4.2 seconds up the road. With 11 laps to go, Norris had reduced the deficit to less than a second, and after a few nibbles, he launched his McLaren underneath Piastri at the hairpin. Norris made the move stick only for Piastri to draw back alongside him as they headed to the final chicane. Piastri held the inside line ahead of Norris to take back the position. Norris sensed another opportunity on the run down to the first corner but he thudded into his team-mate to deal a blow to his championship hopes. Russell's win, his first since Las Vegas in November, takes him to within 62 points of Piastri. 'It is amazing to be back on the top step,' Russell said. 'We took the victory following an incredible pole lap (on Saturday).'

Lando Norris crashes out of Canadian GP after collision with McLaren pal Piastri as F1 title race swings enormously
LANDO NORRIS took the flak for crashing into his teammate Oscar Piastri. The British McLaren driver held his hands up for the incident on lap 67 which left him out of the race at the Canadian Grand Prix with three laps to go. Advertisement 2 Lando Norris was able to walk away from his damaged McLaren but took the hit when it came to blame for the crash with fellow McLaren ace Oscar Piastri Credit: Getty The duo had been in the midst of a thrilling battle and Norris tried to nip ahead thinking there was a gap but instead ran into the back of Piastri and into the barrier. He came onto the team radio and said: 'I'm sorry. It's all my bad, all my fault. Stupid from me.' George Russell drove a superb race from pole to win his first race of the season while Max Verstappen took second ahead of Kimi Antonelli in third. Russell soared ahead from the start with Verstappen snapping at his heels, while Antonelli nipped ahead of Piastri. Advertisement READ MORE ON F1 It was a bumpy start for Alex Albon who took a trip across the grass with his Williams briefly going airborne. After pit stops from Russell and Verstappen, Norris was given a kick up the backside, as his race engineer came on the radio with some words of encouragement. He said: "Russell has pitted. This is plan A. We need one of those amazing races from you here." Lewis Hamilton suffered damage to his Ferrari after hitting a GROUNDHOG on the track, which affected his downforce.

Russell was then storming away up ahead with a lead of over five seconds for the first time on 37 as Verstappen fell back and into the clutches of Anontelli. Advertisement Lando Norris punished by F1 bosses with five-second penalty after being snitched on by rival Max Verstappen The Italian teenager had DRS on Verstappen so Red Bull called him into the pits early once again before rejoining in sixth. On lap 49 Albon's afternoon came to an end with him pulling off track with a technical problem, well out of harm's way so no Virtual Safety Car was required. It was bunching up between the leading pack, with seven seconds suddenly covering the top five. Verstappen was snapping at Russell's heels with just over 1.5 seconds separating the bitter rivals while Norris in fifth was doing the same to his teammate Piastri in fourth. Advertisement The British driver even got within DRS range of Piastri who was being held up by Esteban Ocon in traffic. Drama erupted as the two McLarens came together and the safety car came out. Russell and Verstappen were sniping at each other under the safety car as the Dutchman felt he braked erratically while the Brit felt the Red Bull driver overtook him. Mercedes man Russell held on but it was overshadowed by drama in the McLaren camp. Advertisement
