Red Bull's Max Verstappen feels there is no chance Red Bull can match McLaren in Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix, focusing his attention on a podium fight with Mercedes. Verstappen won the past three races in Canada, but the 2025 edition of the Montreal race looks set to tell a different story.

Verstappen was handed a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points for driving into Mercedes' George Russell in the final stages of the Spanish Grand Prix, which brings his total over the past 12 months up to 11, with 12 leading to an automatic one race ban. Only after the Austria race will he start losing points again to diminish that threat.
