Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won the 9th stage of the Formula 1 championship, the Canadian Grand Prix, which took place in Montreal.
The three-time champion and leader of the current championship won his sixth victory of the season and the 60th of his career.
McLaren driver Lando Norris finished second, and George Russell (Mercedes) finished third.
Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz did not reach the finish line. Verstappen’s team-mate Sergio Perez also retired.
The drivers started on intermediate and wet tires following rain in Montreal before the race. The safety car appeared on the track twice – first after the accident of Logan Sargent (Williams), and then after the retirement of Sainz and Alexander Albon (Williams).
Norris, leaving the second pit stop, was unable to get ahead of Verstappen, who then maintained the lead at the restart, created a gap and brought the race to victory. Russell overtook Oscar Piastri (McLaren) in the final laps, as well as his team-mate Lewis Hamilton to reach the podium. Hamilton earned an extra point for the best lap. In addition, the Alpine team earned points in Montreal with two cars.
In the individual standings, Verstappen is first with 194 points. Leclerc, despite the crash in Canada, retains second place (138). Also in the top 5 are Norris (131), Sainz (108) and Perez (107). In the Constructors’ Championship, Red Bull has 301 points, Ferrari is second (252), McLaren is third (212).
The Spanish Grand Prix will take place June 21–23 in Barcelona.

The Ferrari, Audi and Aston Martin teams have filed a joint lawsuit with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) over the advantage that Mercedes and Red Bull may have in the 2026 season under the new technical regulations, The Race reports.
In 2026, Formula 1 will switch to new technical regulations, which provide for a reduction in the fuel compression ratio in power plants from 18:1 to 16:1. This indicator will be monitored off the track.
According to the source, Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to pass the tests while maintaining the actual race compression ratio at 18:1. This could give teams an advantage of 0.3-0.4 seconds per lap.
— The regulations clearly define the maximum compression ratio and the method for measuring it, based on static conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure remains unchanged despite the reduction in the permissible compression ratio for 2026, the FIA said in a statement.
The FIA does not intend to change the regulations at least until the tests are carried out. Teams are allowed to update their power unit designs every six races of the season.
