What the teams said – Race day in Canada
Russell made a great start and led throughout the entire race, bar the pit stop periods. Mercedes nailed his two-stop strategy and Russell did not put a foot wrong to convert pole to the win, his first of the year. Antonelli also had a brilliant getaway, a bold move on Piastri making his race. He ran third from there, and came close to picking off Verstappen at times. He came under huge pressure from Piastri late on, but defended superbly to pick up his first career podium and become the third-youngest driver to stand on the rostrum.
