5 Winners and 5 Losers from Canada – Who nailed the tricky Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal?

The Canadian Grand Prix saw George Russell emerge as Formula 1's fourth different winner this season, delivering a masterclass performance for Mercedes, who also celebrated Kimi Antonelli's maiden F1 podium, making him the third-youngest podium finisher ever. While Mercedes celebrated reclaiming P2 in the Constructors' standings, the weekend was a mix of highs and lows for others. Lando Norris was a notable loser, despite his raw pace, crashing out after misjudging a move on Oscar Piastri, costing him crucial championship points. Ferrari also endured a difficult weekend, with Charles Leclerc's crash, team principal rumors, and both drivers struggling to convert qualifying potential into strong race results, seeing them drop to third in the constructors'. On the other hand, Fernando Alonso continued his resurgence with Aston Martin, securing another strong points finish, while Nico Hulkenberg delivered an impressive P8 for Kick Sauber, his second consecutive points haul. Esteban Ocon also shone for Haas, executing a brilliant strategy to climb from P14 to ninth, marking Haas's best-ever Canadian GP result. Conversely, Alex Albon and Liam Lawson suffered retirements, and Alpine remained at the bottom of the Constructors' standings after another point-less outing.
