McLaren left Canada without points after an early tyre choice failed in changing weather. Max Verstappen joked about the team's decision after the Canadian Grand Prix, where both McLaren drivers began on intermediates before quickly switching tyres as conditions improved. Norris later stopped with a gearbox fault, while Oscar Piastri finished 11th after receiving a 10-second penalty for contact with Alex Albon.
