AND STILL 💥 Four straight Grand Prix wins. His third consecutive grand slam. Red Bull's 100th win overall. Max Verstappen wins the Canadian Grand Prix.
Luke Smith, Madeline Coleman and moreHello from Montreal and bienvenu to The Athletic’s live coverage of the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen notched yet another win for Red Bull in an utterly dominant season.
Following a wet and wild Friday and Saturday at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, we got the show we expected at the front, where Verstappen capitalized on his pole position start but didn’t produce quite the kind of lead he’s posted at previous races, finishing a comparatively measly 9.5 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso.
Behind Verstappen, we got a proper battle between Alonso and Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes, with Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz just off the podium. Sergio Pérez did well to finish P6 after starting P12, but didn’t produce the sort of fightback that his teammate has delivered when starting far back.
George Russell — whose too close encounter with the wall triggered an early safety car — made the most of his new front wing, fighting back from last to P8, only for a brake issue to force his eventual retirement.
