Max Verstappen emphasized that experiencing multiple repeats of the dramatic Canadian Grand Prix throughout the season would be overly stressful, despite his victory in a chaotic race. The race saw George Russell leading in wet conditions before Lando Norris overtook both Russell and Verstappen as the track dried. Verstappen managed to regain the lead during a safety car period, ultimately holding off the chasing cars, including Lewis Hamilton, to win the race by 4.9 seconds. Verstappen described the race as crazy but credited his team for making the right calls, remaining calm, and managing gaps effectively. Despite the challenges, Verstappen expressed enjoyment for such races occasionally, noting the difficulty in driving on almost-slick tires due to changing track conditions. The Red Bull driver also shared a humorous moment where he had to swerve to avoid a groundhog on the track, highlighting the unpredictable nature of racing.
