Piastri says failed tyre gamble made McLaren look 'like idiots'

McLaren boss Andrea Stella defended a failed Canadian Grand Prix tyre gamble despite Oscar Piastri admitting the episode made the team look "like idiots".

With light rain falling in cold conditions in the build-up to Sunday's race in Montreal, both Piastri and Lando Norris were among seven drivers to fit intermediates for the start - Audi's Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, Williams' Carlos Sainz, plus Cadillac's Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas were the others.
