The Canadian Grand Prix was one for the books again. A thrilling battle up front, Max Verstappen in second place, and a bizarre ending by Lando Norris. How did the fans react?
George Russell convincingly won the race in Montreal, but there was much more at play. Max Verstappen drove his race calmly, possibly to avoid a penalty point and suspension, but that was not all.
In the final stages, we saw a huge blunder by McLaren, caused by Lando Norris. The papaya duo was on its way to scoring decent points for the championship, but Norris ended up in the wall.

Funny that most of the time regardless of which team finds itself filling two spots of the podium, there’s always that persistent little dutch guy occupying the other one. It can be McLaren, Mercedes or Ferrari, but that guy will be there 95% of the time.
Max Verstappen 🧡
