Seven drivers are at a risk of a penalty after being placed under investigation by the FIA following the Canadian Grand Prix.

The race was won by Mercedes' George Russell, who recorded his first Grand Prix victory of the 2025 season.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished in second, with Russell's Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli picking up his first F1 podium at the age of just 18 by coming home in third.

But the conclusion of the race was overshadowed by a high-speed crash between McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Norris clipped the left rear tyre of Piastri on the pit straight after taking to the grass, causing him to retire from critical suspension damage.

The crash brought out the safety car, which was deployed until the finish.

But a series of incidents under the safety car has led to the FIA placing seven different drivers under investigation - and the outcome of those investigations could significantly change the Grand Prix result.

Antonelli, Piastri, fifth-placed Charles Leclerc, ninth-placed Esteban Ocon and 10th-placed Carlos Sainz are all under investigation for 'safety car infringements', as well as non-points finishers Pierre Gasly and Lance Stroll.

According to De Telegraaf, all seven drivers are under investigation for overtaking under the safety car after the chequered flag.

All drivers, however, will be concerned about a previous outcome of the same investigation last season.

After the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Verstappen, Ocon, Gasly and Nico Hulkenberg were all given warnings for overtaking under the virtual safety car after the end of the race.

However, the stewards stated: "Further breaches may incur significant penalties."

It was subsequently announced by the FIA that both Piastri and Norris had been sent to the stewards over allegedly causing a collision, taking the total number of drivers under investigation to eight - though in Norris' case, he would not be penalised for the Canadian Grand Prix as he retired from the race.
