McLaren attempted to play down any acrimony between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after they collided at the Canadian GP, with the Briton crashing out, as George Russell claimed a decisive victory for Mercedes after starting on pole.
Norris’s failure to finish, crashing out from fifth with three laps left, means the Australian, who finished fourth, increases his championship lead over his teammate to 22 points. Russell sits in fourth in the standings, 62 points off Piastri.
