2025 Canadian GP Recap: Squirrels, Team Drama, and Russell’s Redemption

The Canadian Grand Prix didn’t disappoint. We had strategy, teammate collisions, a cheeky squirrel, and George Russell finally making the most of a pole position. Let’s break it all down — with a few laughs, bold predictions, and fan-favorite chaos.

🥇 George Russell: Calm, Clean, Ruthless

He started from pole, finished first, and silenced any critics. Russell brought home Mercedes' first win of the season, keeping Verstappen in his mirrors and dodging a Red Bull protest like it was DRS. No drama — just domination.

Toto Wolff called Red Bull’s protest “petty and small” — the stewards agreed.

💥 McLaren Implodes… Again?

Oscar Piastri continues to lead the championship, but his own teammate Lando Norris had other plans. In the final laps, Lando bumped into Piastri, ruining both races and probably a team dinner or two. To his credit, Norris admitted, “That was just stupid.”

The incident shook up McLaren’s garage, even as they remain on top in the standings

😼 Verstappen: Quiet, Calculated, Dangerous

No contact. No chaos. No headlines. And yet… P2 secured, clean drive, and a wink from Christian Horner for “a squeaky clean” race. Max played it smart, and if he stays consistent, he’s still in this fight.

Smooth and silent — Verstappen’s new vibe?

🚀 Antonelli’s Arrival

Italy finally has something to cheer about! Kimi Antonelli grabbed his first podium ever, finishing P3 for Mercedes. Cool, composed, and already being compared to a young Hamilton. Watch this space.

First Italian on the podium since 2009.

🐿️ Hamilton vs. Montreal’s Fastest Resident

Lewis Hamilton had a bizarre moment: he hit a groundhog. The little guy dashed across the track, and while Lewis avoided major damage, his car wasn’t the same. Still, he finished P6 and smiled through the interviews.

“I’m really sorry, but I just didn’t see it,” Hamilton said.
