Verstappen survived a late safety car period to win the 2022 Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix.
Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen further strengthened his lead in the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship by taking victory on Sunday at the Canadian Grand Prix, held at Montreal’s Gilles Villeneuve Circuit.
Verstappen started the race on pole, with Alpine's Fernando Alonso making a front-row appearance for the first time in years. Verstappen made a great start and was soon carving out a decent gap thanks in part to the slower Alonso holding back Sainz and Hamilton. This brought out the virtual safety car, at which point Red Bull decided to bring Verstappen in for a change from the medium to hard tires. He would emerge in third place behind Sainz and Alonso, who both stayed out.Verstappen finally passed Alonso on lap 15 and then five laps later another virtual safety car was called after Mick Schumacher's Haas suffered some issues. At this point it was Sainz's turn to pit, allowing Verstappen to move into the lead and Alonso into second.
Verstappen got a break on lap 49 when AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda lost control into turn two and slid into the barriers. The safety car was deployed and Sainz took the opportunity to pit, thus giving Verstappen the lead. This would lead to a showdown to the finish.
