Red Bull S Verstappen Claims Canadian Grand Prix Against Ferrari S Sainz

Verstappen won from pole at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to extend his lead to 46 points over his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez, who retired early with a gearbox problem. “We still have a long way to go and I know the difference is of course big enough, but I also know it can change very quickly,” Verstappen said of his points lead. He noted that he was 46 points behind Charles Leclerc after the third game of the season. The Dutchman had no problem clearing out Fernando Alonso, who won his first start in the front row after a decade and then joked that he would attack Verstappen in the first corner to steal the win. But there was no challenge and by the time Sainz left Alonso second in the second round, Verstappen had already taken a 2.4-second lead over his Red Bull. Sainz was able to close the gap in the last 10 laps and push the F1 champion, but faded in the last lap and finished 0.993 seconds behind with his Ferrari. “It was a good race, it’s always more enjoyable to be able to really push instead of saving your tires,” said Verstappen, who added that Sainz did not “overtake in terms, but was very close”. Sainz said the second was the best he could get on Sunday. “When I gave it my all, I risked everything,” Sainz said. “I can tell you that I was pushing. I left it all out there. For the first time this season I can say that I was the fastest person on the track, something that gives me confidence and some hope for the next races “. Mercedes had a tremendous recovery from racing during the season, which included a tremendous training session on Friday, as seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton scored his first podium since the start of the season in March. George Russell was fourth as Hamilton beat his new teammate for just the second time in nine games this season. “It’s great to be in battle and in the end keep up with these guys, but it gives me and the team a lot of hope,” said Hamilton. “The potential is really there if we can get it right and I think that was the hardest thing this year.” Hamilton received a provocative applause after his finish and said that he had no problem with his back, something that bothered him all season because of how the new Mercedes bounces across the track. “It’s good, I came back young,” said the 37-year-old. But he added “we still had bounces, but it’s night and day the difference”. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admitted after the race that the team had increased the driving height of their cars to make them more driving and eliminate the “seal” effect that has plagued Hamilton and Russell all season. The bounce has caused back pain and headaches to its drivers. “The tunnel (wind turbine) told us that the lower the car, the faster you go, the more ground it will have,” Wolff said. “But in reality, you can not drive the car there, so you have to pick it up, and pick it up, and pick it up, and then on paper you lose about half a second in vertical force. “We have already increased it (Saturday), but the more you upload, the more performance you lose. So it is always a compromise. “ Verstappen, meanwhile, has now won six of his first nine games in his title defense season. It was Verstappen’s best finish in Montreal, which F1 said hosted a record 338,000 viewers over the three days of the weekend, as the series returned to Canada after a two-year hiatus during the pandemic. Sunday’s crowd had clear, sunny skies after two days of rain that toppled the qualifiers and created the smooth track that allowed Alonso – and other drivers, including Hamilton – to win top places this year. Leclerc rallied from a 10-seat penalty for a change of engine in his Ferrari to finish fifth in 19th place. Alpine’s Estaban Ocon finished sixth and Alonso’s teammate, who said he would be happy with fifth place, was seventh. Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas was eighth, followed by rookie teammate Zhou Guanyu, who finished in points for the second time this season. Aston Martin Canadian driver Lance Stroll was 10th. Sergio Perez left the race after just nine laps with a gearbox problem, Red Bull’s fourth mechanical failure this season between Perez and Verstappen. Eleven laps later, Mick Schumacher stopped on the track – ending the Haas driver’s attempt to earn his first F1 points. Haas had equalized their best qualifying effort in team history a day earlier when Kevin Magnussen and Schumacher qualified fifth and sixth, but the team failed to convert. Magnussen destroyed his front wing in the first lap of a race with Hamilton for a position and had to stop early for repairs. finished 17th. Nicholas Latifi, originally from Toronto, who admitted that his position at Williams was unsafe, was 16th in his first Grand Prix of his career. NEXT: The British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 3. Hamilton won a year ago in what is considered the British home game.
