Antonelli takes fourth win in a row after Russell retires in Canada

Formula One championship leader Kimi Antonelli claimed his fourth victory in a row at the Canadian Grand Prix, extending his lead in the standings. The 19-year-old Italian's triumph came after a dramatic battle with his Mercedes teammate George Russell, who was forced to retire due to a power unit failure on lap 30.

Russell, who had started from pole position, had been trading the lead with Antonelli before his car came to a halt on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This incident paved the way for Antonelli to secure his dominant win, further solidifying Mercedes' strong performance early in the season.

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton secured second place, finishing 10.7 seconds behind Antonelli. Red Bull's Max Verstappen completed the podium in third, achieving his first top-three finish of the season. The results mean Antonelli has significantly increased his points advantage over Russell, with Mercedes winning all five Grands Prix held so far this season, along with three Saturday sprints.
