Kimi Antonelli made it four wins from four races as he won the Canadian Grand Prix to extend his Formula One Drivers' Championship lead over George Russell to 43 points. 

Antonelli and Mercedes team-mate Russell had been entwined in a thrilling battle at the front of the pack, only for Russell to retire on lap 31 after sustaining a power unit issue. 

The Silver Arrows duo had come close to contact on several occasions as they traded positions a number of times on Sunday, but it was the Italian who came out on top.

Lewis Hamilton posted his best result for Ferrari since his switch from Mercedes, finishing second after overtaking former rival Max Verstappen late in the race.

But it was a positive outing for the four-time world champion, with Verstappen claiming his and Red Bull's first podium of the season by taking the chequered flag in third position. 

Charles Leclerc took fourth, which moved Ferrari above McLaren in the Constructors' Championship after Lando Norris retired and Oscar Piastri was hit with a 10-second penalty.

Isack Hadjar placed fifth ahead of Alpine's Franco Colapinto, with Liam Lawson, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz and Oliver Bearman rounding out the top 10 in Montreal. 

Norris and Piastri opted to start on intermediate tyres, and the former got off to a blistering start as he swept around the outside of Russell and Antonelli to lead on the first lap.

However, the pair both pitted within the first two laps, which allowed Antonelli and Russell to do battle at the front, fresh from their dramatic tussle just 24 hours in the sprint race. 

Antonelli was forced to take evasive action on lap six to avoid contact with his team-mate, and by lap 12, Russell was overtaken by the teenager after locking up his front brakes. 

Russell was then forced to defend again soon after and Antonelli was forced off the track when trying to overtake, with the Mercedes drivers told to cool down over the radio. 

However, just when another battle looked set to begin, Russell's car suddenly stopped when turning into a corner, forcing him to go on the grass before withdrawing from the race. 

That allowed Verstappen and Hamilton to renew their rivalry, and the seven-time world champion left it late to go past the Dutchman on the outside and clinch second place.

Data Debrief: Antonelli's fantastic four

After finishing third in Saturday's sprint, Antonelli got himself back on track in his quest for championship glory, albeit he was helped by Russell's retirement. 

By doing so, the 19-year-old became the first driver in Formula One history to claim his first four wins consecutively. 

In addition, he is only the second Italian driver to record four wins in a row, after Alberto Ascari, who achieved seven consecutive triumphs between the 1952 Belgian Grand Prix and the 1953 Argentine Grand Prix.
