Formula One championship leader Kimi Antonelli won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday as his Mercedes team-mate and title contender George Russell was forced to abandon the race.
Sprint race winner Russell had a bad start from pole position, losing the lead to Lando Norris of McLaren and also falling behind Antonelli.
But once Norris pitted for slick tyres on lap two, after having started on intermediates due to the mixed weather conditions, Antonelli and Russell started battling each other for first place.
Russell was leading on lap 30, but that's when his race ended. The British driver went wide at Turn 8 and onto the grass before slowing down and stopping on track with a power unit failure.
From this point, it was an easy run for Antonelli as none of the cars behind him were able to pose a threat.
Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari was second after a battle with the Red Bull of Max Verstappen in the final laps. The Dutchman had to settle for third, but will be happy to be on the podium for the first time this season.
Defending champion Norris, meanwhile, also abandoned the race due to a technical issue.
This was Antonelli's fourth consecutive and overall win in five races this season. He tops the drivers' standings with 131 points, 43 ahead of Russell.
