Piastri has no hard feelings

FORMULA One championship leader Oscar Piastri accepted McLaren teammate Lando Norris’s apologies on Sunday after the Briton misjudged a passing move and crashed into him in the closing laps of the Canadian Grand Prix.

The collision on lap 67 of the 70-lap race came when Norris attempted to overtake his Australian teammate and title rival on the straight, but attacked a diminishing space and hit the back of Piastri's car, demolishing his own front wing.

Piastri continued and finished fourth while Norris retired.

Mercedes’ George Russell won the race from pole ahead of four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull with teenage rookie Kimi Antonelli third in the second Mercedes to become the third youngest driver to take an F1 podium position.

Piastri says: “I’ve not seen the incident, but I don’t think there was any bad intentions involved. I think it was just unfortunate really.”
