Button: I wonder what Norris' next move will be.
The argument that the rivalry for the title, led by McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, will inevitably escalate sooner or later, and this will lead to collisions on the track, has been heard for a long time. But on lap 66 of the Canadian Grand Prix, it became a reality, after which Zach Brown, executive director of McLaren Racing, stated: "So it happened. I appreciated Lando's honesty and sincerity. Oscar ran the race confidently. We will draw conclusions and jointly make the next attempt."
According to Jenson Button, the 2009 world champion, the important point is what conclusions Norris will draw and what adjustments he will make in the future in his approach to wrestling on the track.
"This is the moment when we will see what state Lando's mental attitude is in now, and whether he will be able to overcome the consequences of what happened. by becoming stronger," Button said on Sky Sports. – I think he can, judging by how much he believes in himself and the way he behaves. I'm very interested to see what his next move will be."
After the finish of the Canadian Grand Prix, both drivers spoke about their desire to restore harmonious relations within the team, as this is important for further progress. Button agrees that McLaren should not miss the chance to win the championship this year, as it is difficult to predict what the balance of power will be in 2026, when Formula 1 will switch to a new generation of technology.
"I like it when there is such a struggle between teammates, because victory in the World Championship is at stake. They fight really hard, and it's great," Jenson continued. – The moment has come for them to take the bull by the horns, because it is not known when the next chance will come, or if it will come at all, since the rules will change in the championship.
Both are fighting a fierce battle for the title, with similar consequences quite likely. 14 years ago, Lewis Hamilton and I also crashed into each other on the same straight. In general, it happens."
Since Norris retired from the race after the accident, and Piastri finished fourth, the Australian's advantage over his teammate increased to 22 points.
