George Russell won Mercedes' first race of the 2025 Formula 1 season as McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris clashed in the closing stages at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Russell fended off Max Verstappen throughout the grand prix while his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli took a maiden F1 podium in third.

The Brit had to wait almost six hours after taking the chequered flag for his victory to be officially confirmed, as a Red Bull protest was rejected after they had alleged that Russell had driven erratically under the Safety Car the race ended behind following the McLaren collision.
