McLaren had a difficult weekend in Canada. Norris qualified in P8, and Sainz qualified in P9. This became P11, however, as Sainz took a three-place grid penalty for impeding Albon. During the race on Sunday, Sainz had an overheating brake duct due to a visor tearoff getting stuck in the disc. He was immediately told to pit to the hard tyres and to remove the tearoff, impacting his race and strategy. Sainz was in ninth place when he was overtaken by Lance Stroll and Kvyat on the final stages of the race, falling to P11. Norris retired from the race on the early stages of the race, suffering from overheating issues on his rear brakes. McLaren scored no points at the end of the Grand Prix.
