Watch Canadian GP highlights as Russell wins amid McLaren drama

George Russell clinched a dramatic victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, holding off a late charge from Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli to cross the finish line under Safety Car conditions. The race concluded prematurely after Lando Norris unfortunately collided with his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri. Russell showcased remarkable composure from the start, expertly managing his tyre strategy amidst immense pressure from his closest rivals, with the top five cars often separated by less than six seconds. While the leading trio eventually extended their gaps, the battle behind intensified, culminating in the McLaren incident that brought out the Safety Car. The midfield action was equally thrilling, highlighted by numerous overtakes. However, Lance Stroll's aggressive move on Pierre Gasly resulted in a 10-second time penalty for the Canadian at his home race. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton secured fifth and sixth place respectively for Ferrari, followed by Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg. Esteban Ocon and Carlos Sainz completed the top 10, while Alex Albon's race ended prematurely due to a mechanical issue.
