In the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, Mercedes driver George Russell secured his first win of the season by defeating Max Verstappen, who settled for second place after a closely fought race. Lando Norris retired after colliding with his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.
Despite starting from pole position, Russell successfully defended his lead from Verstappen and managed the race effectively, maintaining a comfortable gap throughout.
Behind the front two, Russell’s teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli impressed with a strong performance, securing third place and completing the podium for Mercedes.
Norris, who showed strong race pace and strategy, unfortunately collided with Piastri while attempting to overtake, resulting in retirement and a significant points loss in the driver’s championship for McLaren.
Ferrari faced disappointment as Charles Leclerc finished in fifth place after a strategic error, while Lewis Hamilton struggled with slow pace and finished in sixth position.
