Max Verstappen clinched victory at the gripping wet-dry Canadian Grand Prix, where a five-car battle for the lead ensued over the final 10 laps. Expertly managing a restart after a safety-car period, Verstappen surged into a decisive lead while McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri battled with the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton behind him.
Verstappen swiftly pulled ahead by nearly two seconds in one lap and maintained control until the race’s conclusion. Norris, who had led twice earlier on, couldn’t challenge the world champion when it mattered and settled for second place. Meanwhile, Russell secured the final podium spot by overtaking Hamilton in the closing laps but lamented a couple of crucial errors during the race.
Verstappen’s calm demeanor amidst the race’s challenges led to his sixth win of the season, extending his championship lead. Despite the Mercedes’ strategic tire change advantage, Max Verstappen’s flawless performance secured victory, demonstrating his mastery in challenging conditions. His teammate Sergio Perez had a tough race, failing to make significant progress and eventually crashing late in the race.
Looking ahead, the Formula 1 circuit returns to Europe for the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, kicking off a triple-header followed by races in Austria and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
