MONTREAL — Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, holding off threats from McLaren and Mercedes drivers in a chaotic race shaped by unpredictable weather. Finishing a few seconds behind him was McLaren’s Lando Norris, who briefly led the race after an ill-timed “safety car” put him behind Verstappen. Mercedes’ George Russell finished third after starting first, narrowly beating his teammate Lewis Hamilton after an intense battle during the final stages of the race.
Rivals say Red Bull remain formidable. “I don’t think you can count them out,” McLaren CEO Zak Brown told NBC News on the grid before the Canadian Grand Prix began. “But we’re going to give them a run for their money.” In an interview with NBC News on the eve of the race, Horner said the era of Red Bull dominance that existed in 2023 is over, and the team have a fight on their hands from Ferrari and McLaren for the driver and constructor’s championships this year.
