Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Sunday, 15 June

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella, after the Canadian Grand Prix.

As it happened

• When the lights go out, Oscar loses P3 to Antonelli, while Lando holds onto P7
• Oscar pits on Lap 16 and returns in seventh
• Lando extends his first stint, remaining out and taking the lead. He eventually pits on Lap 70 and returns in fifth, directly behind Oscar
• Lando's race ends early, as he retires with damage to his car
• Oscar crosses the line fourth, bringing home 12 points for the team

Started	3rd
Finished	4th
Fastest lap	1m14.255s on Lap 64 (+0.136s, 3rd)
Pit stops	3, Lap 16 [Medium/Hard] (2.2s), Lap 45 [Hard/Hard] (2.2s) and Lap 67 [Hard/Soft] (4.0s)

“It was a tricky race. It wasn’t my best start and then we were a little on the backfoot from there. In the second half of the race, the pace was good, it was just tough to overtake. We come away with 12 points which is what we could have maximised today.” 

Started	7th
Finished	18th
Fastest lap	1m14.229 on Lap 65 (+0.110s, 2nd)
Pit stops	2, Lap 29 [Hard/Medium] (2.2s) and Lap 47 [Medium/Hard] (2.5s)

“Our number one rule is to not make contact with your team-mate, and unfortunately that is what happened today. I apologise to Oscar and the team. I thought I had a small opportunity, but with hindsight, I should never have gone for that move. I’ve paid the price and I’m glad nothing adverse happened to Oscar. I will put it behind me and learn from today’s mistake to come back stronger as a team in Austria.” 

“A challenging weekend for the team both in terms of performance and in terms of the outcome. From a performance point of view, we managed to improve the competitiveness of the MCL39 thanks to the good work of the team and the drivers. In the race we were able to stay in contention for a podium finish, but we didn't have the advantage that we have experienced in previous races this season. We now have a few things to review to make sure we get back in contention to win races at the upcoming events.   

“In terms of outcome, for the first time this season we scored points with only one car. Lando, after a strong recovery in the race, was in fact involved in an accident while challenging Oscar, which put him out of the race. This resulted in contact between the two cars due to a misjudgement by Lando.  

“The team appreciated that Lando immediately took responsibility for a situation which has cost him important points in the Championship. We will now regroup, take our time to review a few things and make sure we come back stronger, and continue what has been an extremely positive season so far.”
