Amazing victory for George Russell in the Canada Grand Prix. In the best way, English concludes a fantastic weekend, in which he also won pole position. Second position for Max Verstappen, who recovers some point in the McLaren pilots world championship: however, the four -time world champion risks another penalty because during the last tour, under the Safety Car regime, he put the muzzle of his RB21 for a moment in front of the leader of the race, Russell. Third Kimi Antonelli: an Italian pilot returns to the podium after 16 years. Fourth position for Oscar Plastri, protagonist of a beautiful duel with the teammate Lando Norris a few returns from the end. The Englishman ended up on the wall after a contact between the two on the main straight: British evaluation error, which immediately apologized to the team. Quinto Charles Leclerc, very frustrated with the strategy team. Sesto Lewis Hamilton, struggling with problems at his single -seater for most of the race. Seventh position for Fernando Alonso, behind him Nico Hulkenberg, still points after the Barcelona weekend. Nono Esteban Ocon, closes the top ten carlos Sainz. Plastri stretches towards Norris in the World Cup: the Australian now has 22 points ahead of the teammate. Verstappen third at -33 from the world leader.

Canada F1, the departure

All the drivers in front started with medium rubber, with the exception of Norris and Leclerc who opted for the tough. Russell was responsive to the traffic light, keeping the first position in front of Verstappen. Excellent departure for Antonelli, who managed to attack and put on her shoulders. Thrill for Albon on the first lap: the Thai returned to the track dangerously after a long way. First linear returns, without particular duels. Not a big step for Leclerc with the tough: the Monegasque also complained of their rubber on the radio.

The first pits stop

Norris’s overtaking on Alonso for the sixth place on the twelfth lap. Pit stop very early for Verstappen: the Dutchman, who was suffering from graining to the left front, stopped at the 13th round. The world champion mounted the tough. Russell replied immediately, making his stop to the next lap: English managed to return to the track in front of the Red Bull rival. In the meantime, Leclerc has overtaken Alonso for the sixth square. Stop also for Antonelli on Giro 14: the Italian came out behind Verstappen. Pit stop for Hamilton at the fifteenth round: white rubber for the 7 times world champion. In the next lap, Piattri also stopped. Arrived on Giro 17, the first two were Norris and Leclerc, or the two pilots left with the hard and who had not yet stopped at that point of the race.

Canada F1, Gomme Management

Overtaking of Hamilton between the turns 20 and 21: the Ferrari driver put himself Sainz and Ocon behind him climbing in seventh position. Stop for Albon on Giro 23: the Thai mounted the tough, after losing a lot of land with the average with which he had left. Russell went up to second position by overtaking Leclerc at the 27th round. The Monegasque stopped in the next lap, mounting a new hard tire. Stop also for Norris in the next round: McLaren has instead opted for the average. This is the top on tour 30: Russell, Verstappen, Antonelli, Plastri, Norris, Leclerc, Hamilton, Ocon, Sainz, Alonso. It should be emphasized that Leclerc at this point of the race was the only one of those in front forced to make a second stop, having reassembled the same compound with which he had started. This choice was not appreciated by the Ferrari pilot.

The strategies in Canada

Second stop for Verstappen on Giro 38: other tires lasts for the Dutchman. Mercedes responded with Antonelli the next tour: the Italian was not able to return to the world champion.

Alex Albon retired to the 48th round due to a problem with the engine of his Williams (Mercedes motorized team). Pit stop for Leclerc on Giro 54: Monegasco mounted the average, as required by the regulation.

Arrival behind Safety Car

From that moment on, the frantic run -up of the two McLaren in Antonelli began, who defended himself as a lion to keep the first podium in a GP on the tenth race weekend in F1. Plastri and Norris arrived less than a second from the Bolognese before the Patatrac between the two teammates. Everyone with active DRS, Norris tried to attack spreads who first defended himself with a monstrous braking, then on the rectilinear of arrival, however he seemed to have to give in to the position, a moment before the sensational evaluation error of Norris: the British tried to pass his partner on the left, where there was no space clearly, instead of the right, with the result of damaging the Mcl39, beating with the left side on the wall on the wall on the wall on the wall on the wall on the wall on the wall with consequent withdrawal. “Sorry, my mistake” gouched Lando on the radio just after the accident, while the machines acted at the Safety Car in the meantime entered the track to escort the drivers towards the chess flag in the last two laps. A heavy mistake for Norris, unfortunately for him not the first of the season.
