Toto Wolff's new driver duo claimed their first double podium of the year at the weekend, with George Russell earning his first win of 2025 in Montreal, whilst Kimi Antonelli became the third-youngest podium sitter in F1 history with his maiden appearance in the top three.

Sunday's Canadian GP was the first podium in 2025 that didn't feature a McLaren. Is the tide about to turn on F1's runaway leader?

Nico Rosberg has issued a stark warning to McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri as their Formula 1 championship battle ramps up. After nine rounds of this year's championship, Piastri leads the standings with 186 points, but his teammate is only 10 points behind.

The team boss was reflecting on Verstappen’s chances of beating the McLaren drivers to the drivers title. Whereas the Dutchman has no competitive teammate to pinch points from him, Piastri and Norris will take turns beating each other, limiting their scoring potential.

Just weeks before the sport blurs fact with fiction with the F1 movie launch, the Canadian GP read a lot like a nail-biting screenplay.

Mercedes delivered an exceptionally strong performance in the second free practice session. George Russell topped the timesheets, with Kimi Antonelli finishing in third. Mercedes communications chief Bradley Lord appeared very pleased with the results.
