All the key moments from the Canadian Grand Prix weekend

The Canadian Grand Prix delivered another thrilling weekend of Formula 1 action, highlighted by George Russell's first victory of the 2025 season for Mercedes, and a maiden F1 podium for his rookie teammate Kimi Antonelli. The race also saw a dramatic collision between McLaren title contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Norris, who admitted he 'misjudged' the move, pulled off the track with damage, leaving Montreal without points, while Piastri salvaged a P4 finish. McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella acknowledged the incident as 'unacceptable' but praised Norris for taking accountability. Mercedes' double podium performance was a significant rebound after a challenging European triple-header, propelling them back to second in the Teams' Championship. Max Verstappen secured second place, despite a post-race protest from Red Bull against Russell being rejected. Conversely, Ferrari endured a difficult weekend, marked by Charles Leclerc's FP1 crash and Lewis Hamilton's various car issues. Despite this, Nico Hulkenberg impressed by scoring points for Kick Sauber for the second consecutive race. Russell's 'exhilarating' pole lap in cooler temperatures showcased Mercedes' car strengths, securing a crucial grid advantage. The F1 Academy also provided plenty of drama with three races, including multiple crashes and intense battles. Off-track, Hollywood stars and sports personalities graced the paddock, adding to the allure of the Canadian Grand Prix.
