Max Verstappen mocked McLaren for starting the Canadian Grand Prix on intermediate tires, which quickly proved to be a poor decision as the track dried out. McLaren’s strategy led to a disastrous race with Lando Norris retiring due to a gearbox problem and Oscar Piastri finishing in 11th after a penalty for colliding with Alex Albon. Verstappen capitalized on the situation to secure his first podium of the season, finishing third behind Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton. McLaren’s questionable strategy also drew criticism from Piastri and puzzled other drivers like Antonelli. Despite other teams opting for intermediates as well, Red Bull remained confident in their choice of slick tires, ultimately proving successful.
