Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided at the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend as they looked to gain the upper hand in the championship fight.
Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer has highlighted Lando Norris’ aggressive move against team-mate Oscar Piastri in Canada as a clear statement of his determination and willingness to take risks. Norris and Piastri are the frontrunners in this season’s drivers’ title battle, with the MCL39 securing seven wins in the first 10 races, five of which were claimed by Piastri. Their clash in Canada, where Norris suffered terminal damage and Piastri finished fourth, further solidified Piastri’s lead in the championship by 22 points. Palmer believes that this incident underlines Norris’ competitive nature and the fierce competition between the two drivers. He emphasized that any pretense of teamwork is now abandoned, signaling a gloves-off approach for the remainder of the season. With Piastri extending his points advantage, Norris is left to contemplate his actions and strategize for the upcoming races.
