It finally happened.
The rising tension at McLaren boiled over in Canada — and now, they’ve been warned it could just be the beginning of a chaotic title fight.
🎯 Lando Norris sent his team-mate Oscar Piastri into the pit wall in a desperate lap-67 lunge, breaking the number one rule in F1: don’t crash into your own car.
💥 The incident wrecked Norris’ race and his title momentum — dropping him 22 points behind Oscar in the standings.
F1 Academy champ Abbi Pulling didn’t hold back, calling it:
“Desperation. He went for a gap that didn’t really exist… not ideal.”
She added:
“McLaren are lucky Oscar didn’t come away with damage. This is going to get emotional.”
🧠 Credit where it’s due:
Lando did own up immediately — apologising on camera and to the team. Pulling praised his maturity, saying:
“Not many drivers take responsibility that quickly — fair play to him for that.”
But with both drivers chasing a world title, even Andrea Stella’s cool-headed leadership might not be enough to keep things civil for long.
🔥 One thing’s clear:
This isn’t just a team battle. It’s personal now.
