Formula 1’s “big favourite” for the F1 2025 World title emerged in Canada, and no it wasn’t race winner George Russell or P2’s Max Verstappen. It was Oscar Piastri, who increased his lead in the championship despite being rear-ended by his team-mate Lando Norris.

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.

Formula One leader Oscar Piastri stayed hopeful after a qualifying session that had McLaren boss Andrea Stella talking of damage limitation in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

Verstappen was penalized for causing a collision with Russell in that incident, and is just one penalty point shy of a one-race suspension. The Red Bull driver needs to navigate both the Canadian Grand Prix and the Austrian Grand Prix later this month without incident to avoid a suspension.
