Elsewhere and quite unusually at this track, there's no collisions throughout the whole field. Sainz hasn't managed to pull away though and as a result, Verstappen has already pulled a three second gap at the front. As a result, the virtual safety car is out.
The Red Bull driver has moved 46 points clear in the drivers championship as Carlos Sainz came close second and Hamilton rounded off the podium.
He took his second stop on lap 44 and Sainz now led with Ferrari looking to pull off a one-stop, with a nine-second lead to Verstappen. It left a sprint to the finish between the two on similar rubber. Pit stops ensued after an early virtual safety car when Sergio Pรฉrez pulled off track after a gearbox problem on lap nine, with Verstappen and Hamilton stopping but Ferrari leaving Sainz out to inherit the lead. Yet it was Verstappen who had shown the field how hard it will be to catch him this season. The seven-time championโs broad smile and pleasure in having a decent ride beneath him was palpable, clearly reinvigorated by genuinely feeling he was part of the fight. Max Verstappen had long promised that given the tools he was more than capable of delivering a world championship.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo finished 11th in Canada in his McLaren, which did not show the same competitiveness as it did during qualifying.
Verstappen said the straight-line speed of his car was a major difference in those final laps, handing him his sixth victory of the season. The safety car allowed Sainz to pit for new tyres, dropping him behind Verstappen but giving him the chance to hunt down the Dutchman for his first career F1 win. Verstappen survived a 16-lap sprint to the finish after a safety car was called when Yuki Tsunoda crashed his car coming out of the pit lane.
