Verstappen wins enthralling wet-dry F1 Canadian GP
China DailyRed Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates after winning the Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada on June 9, 2024. BEIJING - Red Bull's Max Verstappen returned to winning ways on Sunday, taking victory in an absorbing Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix run in changeable weather conditions. The McLaren appeared to be managing its tyres much better than the chasing pack, and Norris pulled out a 10-second lead by lap 25, but the Briton was left to rue a badly-timed Safety Car deployment to clear Logan Sargeant's Williams, demoting the McLaren down to third, behind Verstappen and Russell. Both Russell and teammate Lewis Hamilton pitted for new tyres, while Verstappen, Norris and the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri stayed out.
