George Russell claimed a memorable victory at the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, held at Montreal’s iconic Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, securing Mercedes’ first win of the season. Russell started from pole position and maintained his lead throughout the race, demonstrating both skill and composure under pressure.

Max Verstappen of Red Bull finished a close second, unable to find a way past Russell despite several attempts. The podium was completed by Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli, who celebrated his first Formula 1 podium finish with a strong drive to third place.

The race was not without drama. Late in the event, McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided while battling for position, resulting in Norris’ retirement. The incident brought out the safety car, which ultimately led the field to the finish. Piastri recovered to finish fourth, but the collision meant McLaren missed the podium for the first time this season.

The Canadian Grand Prix proved to be a showcase of intense midfield action and strategic racing. Russell’s consistent pace and cool-headed driving kept him ahead of the field, while Antonelli’s impressive debut podium highlighted Mercedes’ growing strength. With this result, Russell closes in on Verstappen in the championship standings, setting the stage for an exciting continuation of the season.
