F1 News: What is the following for McLaren after the scrap of Lando Norris and Oscar Bayasteri in the Canadian Canadian Award?

Since the beginning of the Formula 1 season, this moment was coming.

Sunday in Montreal, arrived.

In the closing rolls of the Canadian Canadian Award, McLaren’s teammates Oscar Pestere and Lando Norris were fighting fourth, hoping that he would fight the network on the table at the table of McLaren driver who appeared victorious. But those hopes were suspended when Norris cut the back of the MCL39 of PiaSSTRI, ended Norus’s day and removing the safety car to freeze the field.

In the rolls that preceded the accident, Norris was approaching more and more than PiaSSTRI, and withdrew within the DRS range from his teammate and made several attempts to form a step on PiaSSTRI. Then in the lap 66, Norris gave her another snapshot on the hairpin, as he advanced in front of PiaSSTRI.

But PiaSSTRI held a company on the inner line, and while the two returned to the final Chicane and “Wall of Champions”, PiaSSTri returned to the lead. When the LAP 67 started, the wheel to the wheel again, before Norris finally cut the back of the Piasstri while trying to connect it to the outer line.

You can see the entire sequence here:

Immediately after the accident, Norris apologized to his team, describing the move as “stupid” on his part. Then the cameras were arrested after he apologized to Pesteri for the accident that occurred in the media pen:

Talk to Sky SPORTS F1 In the media pen, Norris accepted all responsibility for the accident.

“No one blames myself, so I apologize to the entire team and Oscar, as well as to try something, perhaps very ridiculous.

“Happy because I did not spoil his race. In the end, I apologize to the team.”

When asked about the idea that everyone, including McLaren, knew such an accident that would happen and that there may be benefit to get it out of the road, Nuris described his steps as “ridiculous”.

“This was more absurd. This was not like” this race “, it was ridiculous on my part,” McLaren driver added.

As for how Norris reset in the Austrian Grand Prix, he indicated that there are more attention apologies, as well as some sleep.

“I go to bed tonight and apologize to everyone and then crack.”

On his side of the garage, Piasstri described the accident as “perfect” for the team.

“Obviously, it’s not perfect for anyone, but I haven’t seen the accident, so I don’t know exactly what happened. If Lando might take full responsibility, this is what I think. It is a difficult race in general, and it is not an ideal end,” said Piasstri.

“I took a great transition to the tenth turns, and I took my country in Chekan. It was a difficult battle but it was a clean battle and I think it was really painful. We are both fighting for the world championship, and I am grateful to the team that allows us to race and I do not expect anything to change in that.”

In his comments on the media, Andrea Stella, director of the McLaren team, framing the 67 -wrap incident as “bad ruling” from Norris.

One cost him “a lot” in the drivers championship.

“We never want to see McLaren involved in an accident, and certainly we never want to see two McLares touching each other,” Stella started.

“We need to review, because this is a clear principle, at the same time, it is an accident of bad ruling. Lando has offended the distance to the car forward and owned it immediately, which we appreciate.

“Our driver will learn, and we go to the race again. It is a very much cost of Lando in the tournament.”

The biggest question, further, is the place where McLaren goes from here. Is it really the best that many expected in June, instead of November? Can an incident like this happen again? After all, despite the results, PiaSSTRI is still in the highest driver championship standing with Norus is still second, and it is now 22 points.

Perhaps Montreal was not the best circle of McLaren, but the Austrian Grand Prix could again prove fertile ground for MCL39, which means that PiaSSTRI and Norris can fight at the forefront again when the network returns to life within a few weeks.

After completing his statements, Piasstri did not expect any major changes.

“I don’t expect this to change anything in that. We will continue the race throughout the year,” The championship leader added.

Will the Sunday accident in Montreal change anything in McLaren?

Or will it change everything?

He will tell the time.
