Race Recap

Andrea Kimi Antonelli converted a P2 start into a commanding victory at the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix, denying pole-sitter George Russell a home win for Mercedes after Russell retired from the lead on lap 29. Lewis Hamilton brought his Ferrari home in second place, with Max Verstappen completing the podium in third — a result that underlined the competitive spread across the top teams. Antonelli also set the fastest lap of the race at 1:14.210, sealing a dominant personal performance, while late retirements for Lando Norris on lap 38 and Sergio Pérez on lap 39 added further drama to the closing stages.
