For Lando Norris, the Grand Prix of Canada in Formula 1 ended in a fiasco. An expert does not yet see the World Cup train for the McLaren driver.
Lando Norris wanted to know it shortly before the end of the race: At the Grand Prix of Canada, the Brit put on the attack in a duel with his team -mate Oscar Piatri. But the 25-year-old tried too much with the crowbar, drove the Australian into the stern and ruined his Formula 1 weekend.
After his zero number in the driver’s ranking, Norris is now 22 points behind Piatri. Formula 1 expert Martin Brundle does not yet write down the man from Bristol.
Nevertheless, the ex-pilot noticed “Sky Sports”: “He [Lando Norris] As well as always, has to do its best, like Max [Verstappen] it does. Oscar [Piastri] is much more solid in his performance, week after week, much more constant, “analyzed Brundle.

“Lando seems to have weekends when he is absolutely dominant, as in Melbourne and Monaco, or everything just falls apart,” said the Formula 1 specialist. The Grand Prize of Canada counted for the latter weekends.
Formula 1: McLaren strengthens Norris public
After all, Norris took the crash in Montreal directly onto his cap. “Our support for Lando is out of the question,” said McLaren team boss Andrea Stella after the race.
Norris has to “take away what makes him stronger and put everything else that would put up with him. We will fully support him as a team,” said the Italian. McLaren is probably not yet planning a stable order.
RTL-Expert Günther Steiner advised the world of constructor to exactly this. “You don’t have to, but you should,” said the South Tyrolean. “I would do it. Especially after the mistakes that Lando does. You don’t want to risk anything. This maneuver was completely unnecessary and risked the second car,” criticized Steiner.
