2025 Canadian Grand Prix Recap
Mercedes Double Podium, Lando Norris Crash & Ferrari Pressure
The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix delivered everything we expect from Montreal: unexpected results, team tensions, and just enough drama to keep the championship narratives shifting. Here’s our breakdown of what went down at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
George Russell Wins the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix
Mercedes finally had the weekend they’ve been working toward. George Russell turned pole position into a smooth, confident race win - his first of the season and arguably one of his best drives in recent memory.
But the real story? Kimi Antonelli’s first F1 podium. At just 18 years old, the rookie finished P3 and poured his champagne over his head on the podium in a nod to Ayrton Senna’s iconic celebration. Whether he was paying tribute or simply forgot the legal drinking age in Montreal is 18 - we’re charmed either way.
Lando Norris Crashes After McLaren Teammate Battle
The pressure is starting to show at McLaren. Fighting Oscar Piastri for P4, Lando Norris went for a bold pass down the straight - but dipped a tire into the grass, lost control, and hit the wall. His race ended there.
No points. A growing gap to Oscar in the 2025 F1 Drivers’ Championship. And more growing questions about Lando’s ability to execute in high-pressure moments.
To his credit, Lando took full responsibility post-race. But this isn’t the first time we’ve seen errors creep in under pressure - especially in tight quali sessions or wheel-to-wheel battles. The speed is there. The talent is there. Can Lando rise to the occasion? We are rooting for him!
Nico Hülkenberg Scores Again for Stake F1
Nico Hülkenberg is doing the impossible: consistently scoring points in a car that no one expected to be in the top 10. His Canadian GP drive was measured, opportunistic, and quietly brilliant - his third points finish in 2025.
He may not grab headlines like the frontrunners, but if there were an award for “most overdelivered performance,” the Hulk would be leading the standings.
Lance Stroll Injury Rumors Cloud Home Race
It was supposed to be a homecoming moment, but Lance Stroll’s hand became the story instead. The official line? An old cycling injury flaring up. The paddock rumor? A post Spanish grand prix quali outburst gone wrong.
What didn’t help? Lance kept the hand in his pocket all weekend, offered single-word answers in interviews, and let speculation fester. Whatever the truth, the optics were not ideal.
Ferrari’s Fred Vasseur Pushes Back on Media Criticism
Ferrari’s rough 2025 continued in Montreal - and so did the media pressure. During the Thursday press conference, Team Principal Fred Vasseur became visibly upset about the changes in Ferrari team personnel the Italian media are calling for.
Vasseur made it clear that he can handle speculation about him; but when it’s directed at specific people on the team and as a result, the people within that department, that creates unproductive distraction for everyone.
It was a rare glimpse of fire from the usually jovial team boss - but a respectable one as he defends and fights for his team.
The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix left us with plenty to think about. Mercedes is back in the conversation. McLaren’s internal rivalry is getting real. Ferrari is feeling the heat. And quietly, drivers like Hülkenberg and Antonelli are stealing scenes.
