Canadian Grand Prix

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.

About the Circuit

The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve sits on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal and measures 4.361 km per lap across 14 corners. It is a street-style permanent circuit characterised by long straights, tight chicanes, and unforgiving concrete barriers that leave little margin for error.

The circuit is one of the most distinctive venues on the Formula 1 calendar, rewarding strong straight-line speed and precise braking while punishing any lapse in concentration. Its combination of high-speed sections and technical slow corners produces close racing and frequent incidents, making it a consistent highlight of the season.
