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.

Speaking with the media ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen had a notably testy interview with Sky F1’s Ted Kravitz. But he wasn’t defending his antics at the Spanish Grand Prix, but rather Steven Knowles’ call for him to give a position back to George Russell that ultimately led to Verstappen’s 10-second race penalty and looming race ban.
