Max Verstappen won the Canadian Grand Prix for the third straight year Sunday for the Red Bull star’s 60th Formula 1 victory and sixth in nine races this season.
The 25-year-old Dutchman started second in the rain alongside pole-sitter George Russell, took control early as the sun came out and dominated again at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Ile Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence River.
Verstappen finished more than three seconds ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris in the 70-lap race on the 2.71-mile (4.36-kilometer) road course.
Mercedes took the next two spots, with Russell third and seven-time Montreal winner Lewis Hamilton fourth.
Last year in Montreal, Verstappen started from the pole and led every lap. He has won the last three world championships.
