US EditionMercedes' 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.
- The race featured a late collision between McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, stemming from Norris' repeated attempts to pass on lap 67.
- Norris misjudged a move, collided with Piastri while duelling for fourth place, hit the wall, retired, and triggered a safety car for the final laps ending Piastri's eight-race podium streak.
- Russell said, "It's amazing to be back on the top step," while Mercedes principal Toto Wolff praised the team, calling it "an absolute victory on merit" controlling the race throughout.
- The incident weakened Norris' championship hopes as Piastri extended his lead to 22 points, and McLaren failed to reach the podium for the first time this season.
