Summary

F1 correspondent and F1TV Presenter, Lawrence Barretto, and 2012 GP2 champion, Davide Valsecchi join Tom Clarkson in the Montreal paddock to reflect on that dramatic collision between McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Canadian Grand Prix.

What did Lando do wrong to cause the incident? How did Oscar’s clever defence lure Lando into making a mistake? And what does this mean for the championship battle?

George Russell secured his and Mercedes’ first win of the season, while Kimi Antonelli scored his first podium in Formula 1 with P3. Is George ‘under-rated’? What makes him World Champion material? And what does reaching such a big milestone so early on in his F1 career say about Kimi’s talent and how Mercedes have nurtured him.

Plus, Tom, Lawrence and Davide discuss the recent criticism of Ferrari from Italian media and what Team Principal Fred Vasseur’s reaction to it says about their situation.
