Summary
McLaren’s bold gamble in Canada—putting both Norris and Piastri on intermediates—backfired spectacularly. Though the tires gave Norris a fleeting lead, the track dried faster than expected, forcing early pit stops and unraveling their race strategy. Norris admitted it was a mistake in hindsight, but the team’s call was based on real-time conditions: wet, greasy, and raining. A few extra formation laps and the sudden stop of rain turned what seemed like a smart move into a costly misstep. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
