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.

Penalty points last for 12 months in F1, and so Verstappen’s slate won’t start clearing until June 30, the day after the Austrian Grand Prix. And even that is just two points falling off, if he navigates clean weekends in Canada and Austria in the coming weeks.

A visibly irritated Max Verstappen said the "childish" focus on his penalty points situation was "already pissing me off."
