George Russell withstood two attacks from Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli to win the Canadian Grand Prix sprint race from pole on Saturday.
Russell prevailed in Montreal ahead of world champion Lando Norris of McLaren and Antonelli for his second sprint win of the Formula One season.
Antonelli was forced off the track in both of his attacks against Russell in lap six and again in the penultimate lap when he tried to reclaim second from Norris. He was fuming and had to be told twice by team principal Toto Wolff to calm down.
Antonelli retained the championship lead, dropping only two points on Russell and ahead by 18 points.
The Canadian Grand Prix proper is on Sunday, with qualifying later Saturday.
