Hey F1 fans from South and Southeast Asia – buckle up for some high-octane action! At the Canadian Grand Prix, George Russell led a spectacular charge by powering his Mercedes to a win, holding off a resilient Max Verstappen at the legendary Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This marks his first win of the season and the fourth of his career, all under cooler conditions that really brought out the best in his car.

Despite the mishap, Norris accepted responsibility with a brief penalty, while Piastri’s podium streak came to an unexpected halt.
Russell summed up the day with a smile, saying, "It’s amazing to be back on the top step." Meanwhile, Verstappen acknowledged the early tire challenges while remaining satisfied with a strong finish. The incident not only reshaped the championship standings but also set the stage for more exciting races ahead!
