Despite this setback, Norris managed to secure second place. Although he was the fastest driver at the beginning of the race, he was unable to challenge Verstappen for the lead during another Safety Car period.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella left Canada feeling encouraged by his team’s competitiveness and ability to perform well in different conditions. He commented on the exciting and fun nature of the Canadian Grand Prix, highlighting the fierce competition and bunching of the pack. Stella emphasized that McLaren’s ability to challenge for victory and secure podiums in various conditions was one of the key lessons learned in the race in Montreal.
Stella, however, expressed his disappointment with the missed opportunity during the Safety Car period. He mentioned that this happened at an unfortunate moment for Lando, when he had a strong pace and was leading with a significant advantage. However, he acknowledged that this is part of racing and they won’t dwell on it. He praised Lando for driving a commendable race and also highlighted Oscar’s impressive performance in his second season, fighting for podiums.
Looking ahead, Stella emphasized the importance of focusing on car improvements and operational enhancements. Their goal is to consistently be at the forefront, as they were in Canada. He mentioned that they scored a substantial number of points, once again outperforming their rivals, which he considers a positive result. He expressed gratitude to the team for their hard work over the weekend and looked forward to the next race in Spain.
