Kimi Antonelli went from furious to victorious. A day after clashing with Mercedes teammate George Russell in a heated sprint race, the 19-year-old Italian won a wild Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday for his fourth straight victory.

Russell dropped out with an engine failure after the title-chasing Mercedes duo put on a show in a thrilling fight through 30 laps, trading the lead several times.

Russell's exit paved a clear path for Antonelli to the finish. "It was a really fun battle with George. It was very close and it was a shame for him to have the failure. It was not really the way I wanted to win, but I'll take it," said Antonellit. Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton finished second, ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
