Montreal-George Russell, the Canadian Canadian Award, by beating the spotlight on the hot Sunday in this city, gave Mercedes the first victory in the Formula 1 2025 season.
His opponent Max Versaben defeated Red Bull, who ranked second, and the 18 -year -old emerging as Mercedes, who ranked third and ranked his first platform in Formula 1.
But the race was characterized by exciting accidents in the final stages that changed the path World Championship Battle. McLaren colleagues Oscar Pasri and Lando Norris She was involved in a fierce battle, and reached its climax in Noris, which was shattered after an attempt to overcome a failed at first in a row.
Norris initially overcame the PiaSSTRI on the hairpin, but PiaSSTRI regained the position on the straight straight and to the final Chicane. The battle did not end, as Norris got a better exit and went to overcome the road – but he ran out of the road, slipped on the grass and went out after he reached the wall. On the team’s radio, it was quickly to take full responsibility for the accident.
“I should never go for that,” Norris told reporters after the race. “But it was a lot of risks, especially for my teammate.”
PiaSSTRI continued fourth, and expanded his progress over Norris in the championship race from 10 points to 22 points. The third VerstapPen, 43 points of the lead.
The result in Canada will fuel questions about Norris and his tendency to make mistakes in the moments of clutch. However, the title race has not yet ended: this was the tenth grand prize race for the 2025 season. There are 14 other races to go.
“He left a lot of races,” Norris said when asked about his hopes of the championship. “I don’t expect it to be easy. I do not expect to be arrested easily. But I must work hard to do so and make less mistakes than I made this week.”
There is bad blood between Russell and Verstapen, who qualified first and second, respectively, for a very expected start.
Russell got a better jump and led away, but Versaben stayed closely and sought to attack the Qubbi gathering in the first few rolls. But he could not overcome him in the first period, and he ended up with the hero of the world that defends four times to Antoni. Verstapn tried to attack again in the last term of the race, but Russell increased his pace and kept his rival.
“It is amazing to go back to the highest step. It is clear that the last time for us has returned to Vegas,” Russell said in a post -race interview. “A stunning day for the team.”
The end of 1-3 Mercedes is second in the second place for the Benin Championship, after they lost to Ferrari in the previous race.
This was the first time throughout the year that both McLaren drivers failed to make the platform. PiaSSTRI started third but faster in the clutches of Norris in the closing race. Norris qualified badly in seventh place, but he gambled on a different tire strategy that helped him get positions.
Charles Licerrick from Ferrari ranked fifth, while his colleague Luis Hamilton finished the sixth disappointing, struggling with cars damage throughout the race.
“I am not anywhere in this race, my friend. I don’t know what happened,” he said on the team’s radio in the middle of the race.
Fernando Alonso from Aston Martin presented what is most likely the moment of the prominent radio a day. When the race engineer asked him to mitigate when some corners enter to keep his tires, the world champion applauded twice.
He replied, “We are racing. We are not testing.”
Verstappen, which was under the cloud of a potential race ban if he incurred penalty points in Montreal, felt questions about this topic. Versappen insisted that he would not change his leadership style, and showed his irritation on Saturday when asked about the possibility during the weekend.
“You don’t need to hear it again,” Verstaben said after the qualifying. “It is a waste of time. It’s very childish. That’s why I don’t also want to say much because he is really annoying, this world we live in.”
The position of the pole Russell was the first of the 2025 season for Mercedes. He is just a fourth driver calling for the pole center – where Norris, Pimsri and Ferstaben were taken.
The race came before the premiere of the new “F1” movie starring Brad Pitt, which was highly promoted during the weekend. The film will be released on June 27 in the United States and Canada, and internationally on June 25.
“I definitely think it will be well,” Gentter Steiner, the former head of the American Haas F1 team, told NBC News at The Paddock. “Such production – and the people concerned are the best. How can F1 not help in the world? Not only in the United States, in the whole world.”
