George Russell claimed victory in the inaugural Formula 1 Sprint Race in Canada, with tensions rising as his Mercedes teammate, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, became furious after a fierce on-track battle.
Starting from pole position, Russell managed to defend his lead against Antonelli, who expressed his frustration over the team radio and later went off track, ultimately finishing third behind Lando Norris.
Oscar Piastri secured fourth place, followed by Charles Leclerc in fifth and Lewis Hamilton in sixth, who had been higher up before the final lap.
The race saw intense competition and drama, with Antonelli’s aggressive attempts to overtake causing controversy within the Mercedes team and leading to a warning from team boss Toto Wolff.
Despite the challenges faced by various drivers, including Lance Stroll’s pre-race technical issues and Isack Hadjar’s retirement due to a power unit problem, the Canadian Grand Prix Sprint Race provided thrilling action and unexpected twists until the very end.
