Antonelli wins Canadian Grand Prix as Russell retires after Mercedes power unit failure

Kimi Antonelli secured a dominant victory at the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix after Mercedes teammate George Russell retired from the race due to a power unit failure. The race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve featured intense early battles between the two Mercedes drivers, including multiple exchanges for the lead and a brief on-track contact at the final chicane. Russell initially led the race and was in strong contention for his first win of the season, but his challenge ended on lap 30 when a Mercedes power unit issue forced him to stop and retire. His exit dramatically reshaped the race outcome and the championship standings. With Russell out, Antonelli controlled the remainder of the Grand Prix and went on to claim his fourth consecutive win, significantly strengthening his position in the drivers’ championship. The result extended his lead over Russell to 43 points, giving the young Italian a major boost in the title fight. Behind the Mercedes driver, Lewis Hamilton finished second for Ferrari after overtaking Max Verstappen late in the race, pushing the Red Bull driver down to third. Charles Leclerc secured fourth place, while Isack Hadjar completed the top five despite penalties. The race also saw a turbulent performance from McLaren, as both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris suffered major setbacks, including penalties, collisions, and a retirement for Norris due to suspected gearbox failure. Several other drivers experienced retirements and reliability issues, including Fernando Alonso, Alex Albon, and others, contributing to a chaotic and attrition-heavy race. Overall, the Canadian Grand Prix proved decisive for Antonelli’s championship campaign while highlighting ongoing reliability concerns for Mercedes and other top teams.
