Max Verstappen won a thrilling Canadian GP which had it all including overtakes, safety cars and a Ferrari nightmare.
Lewis Hamilton temporarily claimed third, however a late overtake from team-mate George Russell denied him a first podium since Mexico last year, cementing the longest podium drought of his career.
It initially seemed like McLaren had the edge with Lando Norris producing a stunning overtake on lap 21, taking Verstappen and then Russell for P1.
However, Norris’ lead was short-lived when Logan Sargeant crashed into the wall prompting a safety car.
Everyone bar Norris entered the pits for fresh intermediate tyres, and when the Brit finally pitted he lost his lead, ending up third behind Russell and Verstappen.
An attempt at an overcut nearly put McLaren back in contention, however Norris could only manage second overall in Montreal.
Lando Norris came close to a race victory in Canada
The race topped off an already miserable weekend for Charles Leclerc, who suffered from engine issues throughout the grand prix.
Ferrari made a further blunder, pitting Leclerc during the safety car where he put on dry tyres whilst the track was still wet.
However, the Monegasque driver fell further behind his rivals, with the team eventually retiring the car.
Ferrari’s nightmare continued when Carlos Sainz lost control of his car spinning on track, and tagging Alex Albon who crashed into the wall.
The incident sparked a safety car with both drivers forced to retire from the race.
