Mercedes' George Russell wins Canadian Grand Prix from pole position

Mercedes driver George Russell won the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15, 2025, at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve from pole position.
On lap 67, a collision between McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris brought an end to Piastri’s streak of eight consecutive podium finishes and resulted in McLaren missing out on a podium position for the first time this season.
Russell held a strong lead over Max Verstappen, who finished second, while Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli achieved his first Formula 1 podium in third place during a close battle involving five drivers in the final laps.
Russell said, "It's amazing to be back on the top step," and Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff praised the win as "absolutely victory on merit" with the team controlling the race throughout.
Piastri extended his championship lead to 22 points despite finishing fourth, while Norris accepted full blame and apologized to the team and his teammate, underscoring tensions within McLaren's title fight.
