It’s the moment we’d all been waiting for in the 2026 title battle – BEEF between the leading men at Mercedes as F1 headed to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix.
And what a moment it was, Kimi tries to hang it around the outside of Russell in the Sprint Race, and Russell runs Kimi over the Turn 2 grass to keep his place for the win. And this begins the awkward conversations about racecraft, rules of engagement and how Mercedes drivers want to race each other.
Antonelli won the battle mind you, with Russell’s battery failure in the GP meaning he now sits 43 points behind Antonelli in the Championship. Is Russell already in severe trouble?
Also discussed in an ice cold GP – Lewis Hamilton’s best weekend in red as he finished P2 ahead of Max Verstappen’s Red Bull, Hadjar picking up 40 seconds of penalties and still finishing 5th, and Franco Colapinto’s best result for Alpine too. All that and more on another M101!
