00:00Green flag at the back, here come the lights.
00:04The Canadian Grand Prix is underway, George Russell gets the launch off the line that he was looking for.
00:09He will maintain the lead into turn number one, Max Verstappen in second,
00:12around the outside goes Kimi Antonelli, outside line, trying to get to the inside.
00:17Remember, fresh new tyres for Oscar Piastri, top three are as they were.
00:21Antonelli, will he go brave to the inside to try and take third?
00:24He does so, and he improves to put two Mercedes in the top three.
00:29There was no opportunity for Max Verstappen to get by, it's Russell, then Verstappen, then Antonelli.
00:34Down a place goes our championship leader, as Russell tries to break away.
00:39There was no change between Hamilton, Alonso, Norris and Leclerc.
00:43Colopinto gained a place, and Albon's trying to take it back.
00:46That's the battle you're looking at at the moment.
00:48Can he get through? Colopinto won't want to give it up, and Albon's off the road as a result.
00:53Rejoining, flat to the floor, cars everywhere, either side.
00:57And Hülkenberg's going to take two places.
00:59If he can get there, he does take two places.
01:02On a frenetic opening lap, Colopinto and Albon fighting each other, and Hülkenberg was the benefit.
01:10Fairly nip and tuck, and then Kimi saw that wide opportunity.
01:14Look how much space, actually, he's giving everyone around him.
01:17And in the end, he got a good enough drive off the second corner to claim the track position on
01:23the McLaren.
01:25Nico's been around long enough to know what potentially was coming, and in the end, he would have said, thank
01:30you very much.
01:33Thoughts on tyres, please, Max?
01:35No, that was good.
01:36It's really fragile.
01:37Well, that information would point us towards this is not a conscious effort from Red Bull to maintain a gap,
01:44and that Antonelli's pace at the moment is real.
01:48Antonelli, who set his fourth-place time in qualifying on used tyres.
01:52You're on board with Lando Norris, second in last year's Grand Prix.
01:55Wide moment for Fernando Alonso.
01:58Norris trying to stand on the power and improve a place.
02:00He's going to be able to get past the Aston Martin here, surely, and improve up to P6.
02:06He does so.
02:08We're going to see Lando Norris get a fairly easy pass here on Lewis Hamilton.
02:12Yeah, the hard tyre is the one to be on.
02:14Lewis Hamilton's coming into the pits, but he's going to be passed before he gets there by Lando Norris.
02:18Has to back out of it, and then he will aim for the pit lane.
02:21Lando Norris up to second place.
02:26Laid on the brakes for Carlos Sainz.
02:28This lay-breaking move and a position gained for Sainz, who was distraught with being impeded when he had Isaac
02:34Hajar in the way yesterday.
02:35And that is the Williams driver getting past Bortoleto.
02:38Tsunoda is the driver we're on board with, trying to improve.
02:42And he did improve up to 13th, going in to the final chicane.
02:47Max Verstappen said he was very happy with the initial balance he had at the start of the weekend.
02:52But the Red Bull was struggling for grip, and again, at the leading pack, he goes early for the fresh
02:59rubber.
03:01Kimi Antonelli coming in, trying to secure his first podium in Formula 1.
03:05He'd be the third-youngest podium finisher behind Lance Stroll, behind Max Verstappen, if he was able to climb onto
03:13that rostrum.
03:14And he is fighting his way ahead on the racetrack, but it's a different corner that does always give the
03:20advantage to the inside line.
03:21We saw that last year in mixed conditions, and it was close, but Verstappen stays ahead.
03:28So this was at the hairpin, Lance Stroll getting past Pierre Gasly.
03:33So unlike the block pass that we saw from Sainz earlier on, he had a lot to do still at
03:37the apex.
03:38And I think Gasly just saw that coming and didn't fancy a crash on a day that's pretty tough for
03:43him.
03:43Yeah, that's a penalty. Pissed me wide.
03:45I understood. We're looking at it.
03:47Pissed me on the ground.
03:49Yeah, we see.
03:50Lance Stroll got a 10-second penalty for forcing Pierre Gasly off the racetrack.
03:564.1 seconds separate the top four.
03:59We've waited a while for them to bunch up, but bunch up they have.
04:03This is a straight fight between you, Verstappen, and Antonelli.
04:07Yeah, that gap's come down from 4 seconds to 2.5 since the pit stop for the second McLaren in
04:13the Grand Prix.
04:14It's close this time. Antonelli is driving on those mirrors and now looks further ahead.
04:19They both make the chicane. Antonelli under huge pressure right now as we go to the first turn on the
04:24racetrack.
04:25It would be very brief to get a pass done here.
04:28Oh, that angle made it look like he was going for the latest of lunges.
04:32It did.
04:34They've been saying all the way through the season, at some point it's going to get close.
04:40Let's attack Oscar while he doesn't have DRS.
04:42That's the encouragement from race engineer to driver, building up to 200 miles per hour.
04:47Oscar Piastri looking in the left mirror because his rival for the title is right there, but unable to shape
04:53for the move.
04:53Now the DRS zone coming his way right about now.
04:57Lando's engineer is with him in the cockpit all the way, isn't he?
05:00He's sort of giving him the ABC of how to qualify yesterday.
05:03Now a little bit of advice with the DRS, which, you know, that should be a no-brainer.
05:08Is there an opportunity for Lando Norris?
05:11Thinking about it to the inside!
05:13Lando Norris with the move of the hairpin.
05:16Piastri tries to fight back.
05:17The crowd on their feet in the grandstand.
05:20The top two in the World Championship side by side.
05:22Heading into the final chicane.
05:24Piastri and Norris separated by nothing to 200 miles per hour.
05:29Norris inching clear.
05:31Laid on the brakes for Piastri.
05:32Does he make the corner?
05:33He does, but he's compromised and Norris can't fight his way by.
05:38We go to turn one.
05:39No, he's ripped off the front wing.
05:41The McLarens collide.
05:43Lando Norris into the wall and out of the race.
05:47Chasing fourth place.
05:48The McLarens collide and Norris is out.
05:54And they ran wheel to wheel for so long, but collided on the pit straight.
05:58This is the straight before.
05:59Yeah, wheel to wheel stuff.
06:01And always going to be advantage Oscar on the brakes on the inside.
06:05He risks all.
06:06He goes a bit deep through the right.
06:08That compromises him a bit for the exit.
06:10And then we've got Lando with that slipstream.
06:13And he's actually hit his wing on the back of Oscar before getting alongside.
06:18So I think he's got to accept that's an error of judgment in the heat of the battle.
06:24Yeah, I think it is.
06:25It's a misjudgment.
06:26So he's hoping that space is going to open up.
06:27And it just doesn't.
06:28So he drives into the back of his teammate.
06:30He's done such good work to work the opportunity.
06:34Are you all right, dude?
06:36Yeah, I'm sorry.
06:37All my bad.
06:38All my fault.
06:40Unlike you.
06:40Sorry.
06:41Stupid for me.
06:42Well, I admire the man for owning it straight away.
06:45Rather than calling foul.
06:47We're going to get a perfect view of this.
06:50Just misjudged.
06:52Would have worked perfectly if it was any other angle of attack to that first corner.
07:24Across the line we go.
07:26Good day.
07:26Good day.
07:28Good day.
07:28Good day, sir.
07:29Yeah, it's such a brilliant drive.
07:32Vando Norris with the big risk moment and the retirement that loses him.
07:3710 points for his tally in the World Championship.
07:40On a historic day for Antonelli, a great day for Mercedes and a useful day in the World Championship for
07:46Max Verstappen.
07:47Montreal once again putting on a show.
07:51Yeah, it's such a great day.
