Canadian GP start | Verstappen leads as Hamilton gets his elbows out

Max Verstappen managed to defend his pole position with verve at the start of the Canadian Grand Prix. The Dutchman got away well at the lights out, giving Fernando Alonso no chance to take over the lead in the race. Otherwise, everyone got through the first lap in one piece.

In the top-ten, there were few position changes. Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton and Kevin Magnussen did not manage to gain any positions.
