25-year-old Max Verstappen won Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix and drew even with F1 legend Ayrton Senna in career victories.
MONTREAL — Max Verstappen put in another dominant performance to win the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, bringing him level with Formula One legend Ayrton Senna’s victory total.
Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso finished 9.5 seconds behind Verstappen in second place with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton completing the top three. He added: “It’s amazing. I never expected to be on these kinds of numbers myself, so we keep enjoying, we keep working hard, but today has been a great day again.”
Firstly, on lap 11, Verstappen could be heard telling his team that he had hit a bird. Afterwards, he revealed that the remnants of the bird stayed on his car for the rest of the race. Verstappen though was able to just avoid the wall and could be heard laughing about it on the radio to his Red Bull team. “I almost knocked myself out on that curb,” the Dutchman said with five laps between him and victory.
Hamilton was able to hold off the challenge of 41-year-old Alonso until the safety car brought out by Russell’s crash bunched the two together. After a few laps of pressure, Hamilton was unable to fend off Alonso any longer as the two-time world champion went into second place on lap 23.
