Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday – his third successive triumph in Montreal – after the three-time world champion expertly navigated an unpredictable race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The Dutchman had started second on the grid and avoided trouble amid changing weather conditions to get back to winning ways – Verstappen has now won six out of the nine races this season. Speaking after the race, the 26-year-old praised his team for getting the big decisions right in one of the more challenging wins for the Dutchman this season. “I do think it was a very good team effort today,” Verstappen said in his post-race interview. “We made the right calls, we remained calm when it was sometimes a little bit hectic. “At times in the race we didn’t look the quickest but we were there at the right time so I’m very happy with that.” McLaren’s Lando Norris, who had pushed Verstappen for the win, finished second  with Mercedes’ George Russell in third.
