Max Verstappen achieved his 41st career win at the Canadian Grand Prix, tying with the legendary Ayrton Senna. The Red Bull driver dominated the race, leading from start to finish, and securing his second consecutive victory at Circuit Jacques Villeneuve. Verstappen expressed his pride at reaching this milestone, especially considering his childhood dream of becoming a Formula One driver. However, he has his sights set on even greater accomplishments, aiming to win more races and surpass his current record. Verstappen’s exceptional performance this season, winning six out of eight races and securing the top spot in the drivers’ standings, suggests that he has a high chance of achieving his goals. Alongside his personal achievements, Verstappen also contributed to Red Bull’s 100th victory. The podium for the Canadian Grand Prix featured a highly decorated trio: Verstappen, Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin, and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes. These three drivers have a combined total of 11 world championships and 176 wins, making it a truly iconic top three. While all three drivers recognized each other’s achievements, only Verstappen was content with the order, finding himself in the middle. The race showcased thrilling battles between Alonso and Hamilton for the second position, with the Spanish driver ultimately reclaiming his spot. Despite the competitiveness on the track, Hamilton expressed his hope for a more level playing field in the future, leading to more exciting races. Alonso also displayed his optimism and determination to catch up to Verstappen in the standings. Other notable performances included Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari, who recovered from a less-than-ideal qualifying session to finish fourth and fifth respectively. Lance Stroll, the only Canadian driver in the field, started in 16th but managed to secure a ninth-place finish. Red Bull’s dominance continued, as they maintained a perfect record of eight wins in eight races this season, increasing their lead in the constructors’ standings over Mercedes. The race took place on Father’s Day, and drivers took a moment to thank their fathers for their support and guidance in their careers. Verstappen acknowledged the dedication of his father, who had a successful racing career himself. The race weekend saw a record number of spectators, including notable figures from the culinary, hockey, and football world. After being canceled for two years due to the pandemic, the Canadian Grand Prix will return to Montreal for a third consecutive year in 2024. The next race on the Formula One calendar is the Austrian Grand Prix on July 2.
