Martin Brundle: "Lando seems to have weekends which are utterly dominant, like Melbourne and Monaco, or it just all falls apart."

Lando Norris' collision with Oscar Piastri at the Canadian Grand Prix may not have hampered the pair's relationship, as proven by both of their kind words after the race. However, it may have just changed Norris' role within the team for the remainder of the 2025

The incident between the title frontrunners, with Piastri extending his lead to 22 points while Norris failed to score, was the talk of the paddock at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and had been long predicted. McLaren principal Andrea Stella said the team would discuss once the dust had settled how to prevent it from happening again.

But the difference isn’t in race pace. While Piastri has had the clear measure of his teammate at some races, at most grands prix there’s very little to pick between them. At others Norris has been faster. The Briton could claim Canada to be one of those, particularly looking at the final stint of the race.

Lando Norris appeared to get away with a lenient penalty at the Canadian Grand Prix after causing a collision with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri with four laps remaining.

Nico Rosberg advised Lando Norris to see a sports psychologist after picking up on a worrying sign during his final qualifying lap at the Spanish Grand Prix. Norris was pipped by just over two tenths as his McLaren team-mate and principal title rival, Oscar Piastri, put in a superb performance to clinch pole position.
