Formula 1 – Final Results – 2025 Canadian Grand Prix
Who Took the Win in the F1 Race?
In a surprising turn of events, it wasn’t McLaren or Max Verstappen who claimed victory at the Canadian Grand Prix held on June 1, 2025. Instead, the race was won by Mercedes, with George Russell showcasing a strong performance throughout. The race was packed with varying strategies involving tire compounds and an exciting finish that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Max Verstappen attempted to challenge Russell but ultimately settled for second place as he couldn’t mount a successful attack. Kimi Antonelli also made headlines by securing his first podium finish, rounding out the top three.
The Thrilling Climax of the Race
The most pivotal moment of the Grand Prix occurred during the final laps when the McLaren drivers found themselves in a fierce battle for fourth place. Lando Norris gained ground on his teammate, Oscar Piastri, and launched an attack that saw him successfully overtake Piastri with just three laps remaining. However, Piastri wasn’t done; he retaliated quickly, reclaiming his position in the subsequent turns. In a chaotic attempt to regain his position, Lando Norris miscalculated and collided with Piastri’s rear tire, resulting in contact that sent him crashing into the barriers, forcing him to retire from the race.
The Impact of the Safety Car
Following Norris’s crash, the safety car was deployed, leading to a yellow flag finish. Oscar Piastri held on to secure fourth place, further extending his lead in the championship standings. Charles Leclerc, despite Ferrari’s questionable strategy that even he questioned during the race, managed to finish fifth, with his teammate Lewis Hamilton trailing closely behind.
Notable Performances in the Top Ten
The top ten was filled with impressive performances from several drivers. Fernando Alonso, Nico Hülkenberg, Esteban Ocon, and Carlos Sainz rounded out the top ten with commendable displays, showcasing their skills on the track. Gabriel Bortoleto, despite facing criticism for his team’s strategies, managed to finish in 14th place after an impressive stint on hard tires that lasted nearly 50 laps. Alongside Norris, both Alex Albon and Liam Lawson were forced to retire from the race.
