5 Winners and 5 Losers from Canada – Who nailed the tricky Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal?

The Mercedes driver, who is heading home to Italy to take his school exams on Tuesday, is the first Italian to finish on the podium since Jarno Trulli in the 2009 Japanese Grand Prix.

The score, combined with Russell’s win, helps Mercedes move back into second in the Constructors’ Championship.

Loser: Alex Albon

Alex Albon felt P6 or P7 was possible in Qualifying but remained positive about scoring some strong points from ninth on the grid.

However, he struggled on the first lap – taking to the grass after going wheel to wheel with Franco Colapinto. The Thai driver then tried to make a one-stop strategy work but graining made it tricky to manage.

That dropped him well out of the points – and then to add insult to injury, he was forced to retire with a power unit issue.
