Max Verstappen tied late Brazilian great Ayrton Senna with 41 career wins on Sunday — and he has his sights set even higher.
The Red Bull driver led from start to finish and cruised to victory at Circuit Jacques Villeneuve to claim the Canadian Grand Prix for a second year in a row.
Verstappen, Alonso and Hamilton have 11 world championships and 176 race wins between them, something all three drivers recognized while sitting together after the race. When Aston Martin informed Alonso over the radio that Hamilton had closed the gap to within 1.4 seconds with 10 laps remaining, the Spaniard responded: “Copy. Leave it to me.”Mercedes was looking for a second consecutive strong Grand Prix after Hamilton and teammate George Russell made the podium in Spain earlier this month.
“With all the circumstances, it was better than nothing to get some points,” said Stroll. “But it was still a difficult weekend after yesterday and bad luck today.”Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz began the race in 10th and 11th after some missteps during Saturday’s qualifying session, but made ground to finish fourth and fifth.
