Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli has deepened his championship lead on team-mate George Russell by winning the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, while Russell retired with mechanical issues.
Russell was leading the race after an intense fight with Antonelli, including a glancing blow at the final chicane, when his Mercedes suffered a power unit failure on lap 30. After parking up at Turn 9, Russell jumped out of the car in a furious rage as he not only saw a chance to win his first race since the season opener in Australia evaporate, but also saw team-mate Antonelli get a major boost in the title race.
