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.

Lando Norris accepted the blame, but outspoken 1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve says Oscar Piastri is not entirely without fault for the bundle between the two McLarens in Canada.

F1 legend Jacques Villeneuve has made extraordinary claims that Oscar Piastri contributed to the collision with Lando Norris in the Canadian Grand Prix. Norris failed to finish after clipping the back of Piastri's car while trying to overtake his McLaren teammate with four laps remaining.

After briefly overtaking him with a divebomb at Turn 10, Piastri regained the position on the run down to the final chicane after maximising the slipstream and DRS from Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli ahead.

Discover how Oscar Piastri has reimagined Michael Schumacher’s legendary driving style, blending precise racecraft, late braking, and corner control into a modern F1 adaptation. This in-depth analysis breaks down telemetry, technique, and how Piastri’s smooth aggression channels Schumacher’s essence for the next generation.
