Reigning Formula One world champion Max Verstappen won for the sixth time this season, navigating wet and dry conditions and a challenge from Lando Norris to capture the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on Sunday.
Verstappen¡¯s Red Bull Racing Honda finished the 70 laps at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve by a 3.879-second margin over Great Britain¡¯s Norris in his McLaren Mercedes. George Russell and his teammate Lewis Hamilton drove their Mercedes to third and fourth places, respectively, while McLaren¡¯s Oscar Piastri was fifth.
Verstappen collected 25 points for the victory and increased his lead in the drivers¡¯ championship standings from 31 to 56 points over Charles Leclerc, a Monaco native who didn¡¯t finish the race. An engine issue and trouble with slick tires in wet conditions led Scuderia Ferrari to pull Leclerc¡¯s car for no points.
