Max Verstappen overcame rain chaos to beat Lando Norris and George Russell The Formula One world champion returned to winning ways after dominating an unpredictable race in changing conditions. Lando Norris finished second after leading twice, while George Russell battled for third place with Lewis Hamilton, who made several mistakes. Ferrari recorded a disappointing record with two exits.

Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz were forced to retire after separate collisions at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen won a chaotic and thrilling Canadian Grand Prix, leaving Lando Norris and George Russell to ponder after a dramatic race in intermittent rain in Montreal.

In an unpredictable 70-lap race that featured four lead changes and two crash safety car periods, Verstappen returned to victory two weeks after Red Bull's lackluster performance in Monaco to claim his fifth win of the season and extend the points gap again. It is easier for the world championship to achieve 56 points.

McLaren's Lando Norris twice led the race – the first time after overtaking both Verstappen and Russell – but had to settle for second place as the sheet didn't turn in his favour, particularly under the first safety car.
