George Russell delivered a brilliant performance to win from pole position to claim his first win of the season ahead of his Red Bull rival Max Verstappen. Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli finished third to land his first podium in Formula One.
The papaya-on-papaya flashpoint arrived with three laps to go when Norris launched his McLaren underneath Piastri at the hairpin as they duelled for fourth.

— Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1) June 15, 2025Piastri had the benefit of holding the inside line under braking to move back ahead of Norris. However, the British driver enjoyed a better exit onto the start-finish straight and sensed an opportunity to squeeze past Piastri.
“Are you alright, dude,” said Norris’ engineer Will Joseph on the radio. “Yes, I am sorry,” replied Norris. “It’s all my bad. All my fault. Unlucky. Sorry. Stupid from me.”
Later, Norris was hit with a five-second post-race penalty after the stewards declared he was “solely to blame” for the coming together.
“McLaren is my family and I race for them every single weekend and try and do well for them on and off the track. So when I let them down like this and make a fool of myself like I did today, I have a lot of regret. I’m not proud of myself, I feel bad, so apologies to all of them.
“He raced me fairly until that point. So, you know, Oscar did nothing wrong here, just myself.
McLaren have long been prepared for a collision between their two drivers and Norris’ swift move to accept blame was welcomed by Piastri. It will also go some way to diffuse any tension within the British team.
“It is good for the team going forward that we can have these conversations and race like this and have things not go the way we want and get through them.
“If we were too aggressive going through a corner and we clearly got it wrong then that is one thing, but it was an unfortunate incident on a straight and it will not change anything and that is how it should be because we are both fighting for the world championship.”
