F1 Canadian Grand Prix LIVE! Verstappen wins - Race result, latest news, reaction and updates

F1 Canadian Grand Prix - LIVE!

Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrated his 150th Formula One race on Sunday with a victory in the Canadian Grand Prix to extend his world championship lead.

The 24-year-old Dutch driver took his 26th career win just nine tenths of a second ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton completing the podium for Mercedes.

Sainz collected a bonus point for the fastest lap. Verstappen held off a late charge from Sainz to take the victory and extend his championship lead to 46 points.

Hamilton came home third, taking his second podium of the season and his first since the opening race in Bahrain.

The second Mercedes of George Russell was fourth with Charles Leclerc fifth after starting back in 19th due to an engine penalty, before the Alpine pair of Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso ahead of Valtteri Bottas, Guanyu Zhou and local favourite Lance Stroll.
