The McLaren again showed the real pace it has displayed in recent races once more as Norris demonstrated in passing Verstappen on track but the British driver is demanding race execution to match the car’s speed.victory at the Miami GP earlier this season when a safety car intervention fell in his favour in Florida but he was unequivocal in stating what happened in Montreal had been an error rather than ill-fortune.
“I don’t think it was lucky or unlucky, it wasn’t the same as Miami,” he said. “This was just making a wrong call, it’s on me and on the team, it’s something we will discuss after.
