Mercedes driver George Russell retired from the lead of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix on lap 30 due to a power unit failure. His team-mate Kimi Antonelli took the win, extending his championship advantage to 43 points.
Russell had been battling closely with Antonelli for the lead at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve when his car suffered a sudden mechanical issue. He described the moment by saying, 'Everything just turned off all of a sudden,' and admitted he was 'lost for words' after the incident. The 19-year-old Antonelli went on to claim his fourth consecutive victory in a race that saw multiple incidents and retirements among the frontrunners.
