Staggering Developments in Canada: One of the "Thrilling" Episodes Leaves Everyone in Astonishment
Article:
George Russell Wows Montreal with Pole & Possible Victory, Verstappen Follows Closely
Got some exciting news for the Mercedes faithful! George Russell snatched pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix in a nail-biting qualifying session. The 27-year-old British driver will hope to clinch his inaugural Formula 1 season victory on Sunday following a scorching lap of 1:10.899 minutes. Right on his tail, reigning champ Max Verstappen secured second place in the Red Bull.
"Last lap was epically thrilling, can't believe it!" Russell exclaimed, thrilled by his performance. Verstappen remains optimistic: "Can't wait for tomorrow! Happy with our accomplishment today."
Lando Norris, the second-place championship runner, ended up seventh in the McLaren, a disappointing result for the team. Meanwhile, Nico Hülkenberg, our lone German driver, settled for a somewhat dignified 12th spot, moving up a notch thanks to Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda's penalty.[dpa]
Currently, the Australian Oscar Piastri leads the overall standings with a ten-point lead over Norris. Verstappen, 49 points behind Piastri, has triumphed in Quebec three times in the last three years.
Verstappen, under the lens after the controversial crash in the Spanish race, is facing scrutiny. With three penalty points already on his license, another point could lead to a race ban at Austria's next championship event. However, Verstappen remains resolute, unwilling to alter his driving style.
Now, let's take a quick glimpse at Russell and Verstappen's Form 1 win records:
George Russell:- Victories: Russell notched his debut win of the 2025 season at the Canadian Grand Prix, which ended under the Safety Car.[5]- Pole Positions: Russell clinched his sixth career pole position during the qualifying rounds of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix.[3][4]
