F1 Canadian Grand Prix: Max Verstappen wins ahead of Lando Norris and George Russell

Max Verstappen wins the Canadian Grand Prix , after Lando Norris and George Russell both held the lead at one point. Max Verstappen has survived a wet and wild race in Montréal, winning the Canadian Grand Prix and extending his lead in the Formula 1 world championship.

Lando Norris at one stage looked on course for his second career win, but an ill-timed safety car cost him the lead of the grand prix. But as the track dried out the intermediate tyre was the compound to be by lap seven with Magnussen diving into the pits, falling him back to 13th. A mistake by Verstappen on lap 17 sent the Dutchman over the grass at the second corner, giving Russell a gap at the front and brought Norris onto his rear wing.A lap later, DRS was enabled which gave Norris the opportunity to open his rear wing and try to overtake the triple world champion.

A safety car on lap 25 threw the race into chaos when Williams driver Logan Sargeant spun and stalled on track. By lap 40, Verstappen had etched out a three second lead to Russell, who himself had more than a second gap to the chasing McLarens and his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.Hamilton was the first to blink for dry tyres, with Mercedes putting the medium compound onto his car at the end of lap 43.

Another safety car was called on lap 54 of 70 when the Williams of Alex Albon and Ferrari of Carlos Sainz came together. Ultimately Hamilton and Russel passed Piastri, with the McLaren driver finishing fifth, before Russell passing his teammate on the penultimate lap to claim the final podium position.X
