ROUND-UP: MERCEDES AND HAAS CONFIRM UPGRADES, ROSSI INJURED IN INDY CRASH

Mercedes and Haas are both rolling out upgrade packages for the Canadian Grand Prix, setting the stage for a critical battle in Montreal. Mercedes is determined to respond after rivals found pace in Miami, with Toto Wolff stressing the need for immediate performance to build momentum before the summer break. For Haas, the upgrades arrive under the demanding F1 Sprint format, giving team principal Ayao Komatsu just one practice session to dial in the new components. This tight window will severely test the team’s efficiency and engineering prowess.

In other news, American IndyCar driver Alexander Rossi sustained minor hand and ankle injuries during an Indianapolis 500 practice crash. The former Marussia F1 test driver underwent successful outpatient procedures and is in good spirits. Rossi, an Indy 500 champion, fully intends to participate in Friday's final practice and the iconic race on Sunday. His rapid return is crucial for his Arrow McLaren SP team as they chase victory in America's greatest motorsport spectacle.
