Well, it was bound to come to a head at some stage. How does Toto Wolff play this one after the on-track scrap between his two drivers.
Antonelli had to settle for third place as his championship lead was reduced to 18 points over Russell. Antonelli even requested a penalty for Russell’s “naughty” defense, prompting team principal Toto Wolff to step in and advise him to stay calm. The race intensified on lap six when Antonelli’s failed attempts to overtake Russell led to some risky maneuvers, with Russell ultimately finishing first ahead of Lando Norris and Antonelli in third at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. George Russell won the Canadian Sprint race from pole position but faced challenges from teammate Kimi Antonelli throughout. As the race progressed, Norris closed in on Russell, and Antonelli worked his way back into contention with a focus on his driving. In the end, Norris managed to secure second place, with Antonelli finishing behind him in third, while a late surge from Piastri saw him secure fourth place ahead of Hamilton and Ferrari’s Leclerc.
