Max Verstappen overcame the dispute with Spaniard Carlos SAinz and won the Canadian GP, the ninth stage of the 2022 F1 world championship season. Sainz was second and Lewis Hamilton third – his second podium of the season.
Verstappen, 24, of the Red Bull team, started from pole position in Canada for the first time. In the season, it is his second pole and, in his career, his 15th. This was his 150th career GP.
Now he has 175 points in the championship, taking the lead by 21 over Mexican Sergio Pérez, who did not finish the race in Canada.
Verstappen didn’t stay in first during the start. Carlos Sainz, 27, a Ferrari driver who started in third, alternated with the Dutchman throughout the race.
In the second half, Sainz returned to first place, followed by Englishman Lewis Hamilton, 37, current world champion. He shared the starting line with veteran Fernando Alonso, 40. The Spaniard hadn’t started on the front row since 2012, at the German GP.
Charles Leclerc, 24, Ferrari’s Monegasque, started last, penalty for engine change, but climbed quickly. He finished fifth.
Canada’s track is the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal, in the province of Quebec.
There are still 14 stages to go until the end of the world: Great Britain, Austria, France, Hungary, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Russia, Singapore, Japan, United States, Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
