George Russell walks away from the Canadian Grand Prix with zero points!
George Russell openly expressed his frustration after a sudden retirement from the Canadian Grand Prix, which followed a intense battle with his team-mate Kimi Antonelli. During the race, the Mercedes duo engaged in a close encounter, swapping positions multiple times as they continued their rivalry from the sprint race. Unfortunately, on lap 30, Russell was forced to retire after encountering a power unit issue that caused him to veer off track at Turn 8 while leading Antonelli. This unexpected turn of events marked Russell’s first retirement since the 2024 British Grand Prix, leaving him visibly disappointed as he exited his car and vented his frustration. Consequently, this retirement presents a significant opportunity for his rival, Antonelli, to further solidify his championship lead as Mercedes confirmed the retirement was due to a power unit failure.
