George Russell secured Mercedes' first win of the season at the Canadian Grand Prix, while McLaren's Oscar Piastri extended his lead to 22 points after a dramatic late collision with teammate Lando Norris, which ended Norris's race.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who aimed for a record fourth consecutive win in Canada, finished second behind Russell.

George Russell's teammate, 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli, scored his first F1 podium with a third-place finish. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri ended up fourth after his teammate Lando Norris was involved in a collision that ended his race.

The final lap saw the safety car lead the field before peeling off to allow Russell to take the chequered flag, securing his win.

A dramatic turn of events unfolded three laps from the end when Lando Norris attempted to overtake Oscar Piastri, resulting in a collision that left Norris's car severely damaged. The Briton came to a stop by the side of the track with no front wing and a broken car.

Norris took immediate responsibility for the incident, saying over the team radio, “I'm sorry. All my bad. All my fault. Stupid from me.”

Oscar Piastri made a strategic pit stop under the safety car and rejoined with fresher tires, but the racing never resumed, rendering the advantage useless.
