Lando Norris\u2019 difficult Canadian Grand Prix came to an abrupt end after he suffered a mechanical failure midway through the race.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Much of Norris\u2019 race was compromised when McLaren elected to start both the reigning world champion and team-mate Oscar Piastri on intermediate tyres.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The strategy quickly proved unsuccessful, with both drivers forced to switch to slick tyres and dropping out of contention at the front of the field.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Norris fought his way back into the points and was running eighth on lap 40 when his race unravelled.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A terminal mechanical issue struck his car, accompanied by a loud and concerning noise, before Norris pulled into a run-off area and retired from the race.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The McLaren driver joined a growing list of retirements, and moments later Sergio Perez was also forced out after suffering a dramatic suspension failure while returning to the pit lane.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris\u2019 difficult Canadian Grand Prix came to an abrupt end after he suffered a mechanical failure midway…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-692395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
