The Guardians: “Max Verstappen had long promised that given the means he was more than capable of delivering a World Championship. He clinched the title last year but his win at the Canadian Grand Prix for Red Bull was proof that he appears in every position to now seal multiple championships.”
The Sun: “Red Bull is obviously the big winner of the Canadian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen stormed to victory and won the Canadian Grand Prix for the first time. While Lewis Hamilton clinched a podium with a third place finish in a much-improved performance for Mercedes. It’s a great day for Mercedes, the team made a significant step forward.”
Italy
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Masterful Verstappen! Sainz’s Ferrari was beaten. In Montreal, the Dutchman put in a great performance in the Red Bull, ahead of Hamilton’s Mercedes. Third place for Lewis Hamilton, who finally managed to beat teammate George Russell.”
tuttosport: “Second place for Carlos Sainz at the Canadian GP. The Spaniard put in one of the best races of his season but was unable to beat Max Verstappen who gritted his teeth in the final and crossed the finish line first.”
Corriere dello Sport: “The reigning world champion defends well and manages to get the win, which further extends his lead in the overall standings. Nevertheless, applause for the Spaniard Sainz, who clearly drove the best race of the season.”
Spain
Brand: “Verstappen survives the total attack of the best Carlos Sainz. Great race for the Spaniard, the best in 2022, fighting for the win until the end. Alonso was unlucky, starting from second place and finishing ninth.”
Mundo Deportivo: “Sainz: ‘Not winning when you’re the fastest might hurt more.’ The Spaniard finished second in Canada after putting pressure on Verstappen for the last 15 laps because he had to pit in the lead when the safety car came out.He couldn’t fault himself.He did everything he could had to, but he was missing a few crucial tenths.”
AS: “Sainz came closer than ever to the hairpin bend, Verstappen and his first victory in Formula 1. But Red Bull disappeared in traction, Max didn’t even allow half an attempt when braking and even fended off Carlos’ attacks with DRS.”
Switzerland
View: “Clever Verstappen keeps Sainz in check. The Red Bull Dutchman is too clever to really give the Spaniard a chance in the Ferrari – even though he has tires that are almost ten laps older. Pole man Verstappen comes to his already sixth win of the season.”
