Antonelli wins again as Russell, Norris retire in chaotic Canadian GP

Kimi Antonelli claimed a fourth consecutive victory Sunday at the Canadian Grand Prix, increasing his lead in the driver standings.

Antonelli battled his teammate and title contender George Russell through the first half of the race before Russell retired due to a suspected power unit issue. Russell wasn't the only one forced to stop, as reigning world champion Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso, Alex Albon, Arvid Lindblad, and Sergio Perez also couldn't finish.

Antonelli, the 19-year-old sensation who leads Russell by 43 points in the championship, is the first driver in Formula 1 history to claim his first four career wins in consecutive races.

Lewis Hamilton collected his second podium of the year by finishing runner-up, while Max Verstappen scored his first top-three result of the campaign.

Hamilton moved up to fourth in the driver standings with 72 points, only three off Charles Leclerc ahead of him.

Leclerc was the best of the rest behind the top three. Isack Hadjar placed fifth for his top result as a Red Bull pilot, and Franco Colapinto produced his best performance as an F1 driver by finishing sixth. Liam Lawson, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, and Ollie Bearman rounded out the top 10.

McLaren had a disastrous Sunday, failing to score points. The reigning constructors' champs opted to start both their drivers on intermediate tires at the start, while the rest of the top 10 began on slick compounds. The decision quickly proved a mistake, as Norris and Oscar Piastri, who finished 11th, were soon forced to pit because of slick tires.
