Lando Norris reveals truth behind McLaren's bold Canadian GP tyre gamble

At the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix, Lando Norris defended McLaren's decision to start on intermediate tyres, arguing it was not a 'stupid' choice after he jumped into the lead at the start. Both Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri were among seven drivers who opted for the partial-wet tyre in light drizzle conditions. However, the gamble ultimately failed, with Norris acknowledging that a bit more rain would have been needed to make the strategy work in his favour.
