As soon as the incident occurred, Norris radioed his crew from the cockpit of his damaged car, his tone clear and direct. “All my fault,” he admitted, with Piastri’s car still running and continuing on track. “Sorry. Stupid by me.”
The stakes couldn’t be higher for both drivers, who are locked in a close battle for the world championship. With every point crucial, every race is a potential turning point in their season. Team Principal Andrea Stella has long anticipated that tensions could boil over between his two star drivers as the pressure mounted.
Speaking after the race, Stella reflected on the situation with calm acceptance. “We said a few times that it wasn’t a matter of ‘if,’ it was more a matter of ‘when’,” he noted. “And the when is Canada 2025.” Stella’s comments underline the high-pressure environment both drivers are operating in, and the fine line between fierce competition and costly mistakes on the track. Despite the setback, the team remains focused on supporting both drivers as they continue their championship campaign.
