Race Recap

Mercedes's Kimi Antonelli won the Canadian Grand Prix, improving on a P2 grid slot to lead at the checkered flag. A 83 OVR performance grade backs up the result. Hamilton finished second for Ferrari, with Verstappen completing the podium.

The Decisive Factor

The tire war went to Verstappen, who earned a 88 TIR tire management grade by extending stint performance beyond the field average. That stint advantage helped convert a P6 start into P3.

Championship Impact

Antonelli commands a 100% title probability heading into the next round. Antonelli leads Russell by 102 points in the standings.

Survival Race

6 DNFs made this one of the more dramatic races of the season. Among the casualties: Norris (P3), Russell (P1), Lindblad (P9).

Despite locking out pole, Russell could only manage P19 when the lights went out.
