Defending world champion Max Verstappen has continued his impressive Formula 1 run, after securing victory at the Canadian Grand Prix. Verstappen put in a professional showing to further cement his spot at the top of the driver standings, meanwhile his long-time rival Lewis Hamilton secured just his second podium of the campaign by finishing third.
Verstappen began the race with F1 veteran Fernando Alonso on his tail, after the two-time world champion picked up his front row start for the first time since 2012. The rumour on the grid was that Alonso was going to attack from the off and attempt to get in front of Verstappen early on.
The Dutchman though was in no mood to give up top spot, and professional manoeuvred his way through the chaotic early stages to keep his lead intact.
