Canadian Grand Prix: Max Verstappen wins to equal Ayrton Senna victories total
Only Alain Prost, Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have more F1 race wins than Max Verstappen
Verstappen's winning margin of 9.5 seconds was the smallest a Red Bull has had over another team so far this season, giving encouragement to the chasing pack. Verstappen converted a brilliant pole position won in the wet, 1.2 seconds clear of the field, into a lead at the first corner and never looked back as he measured his pace to the intense battles behind him.Fernando Alonso was passed by Lewis Hamilton at the start but was later able to overhaul his old rival
At the restart, Alonso began to challenge the Mercedes more closely and after a few laps of pressure edged close enough to pull a move into the final chicane on lap 23. Behind Alonso and Hamilton, Leclerc and team-mate Carlos Sainz recovered well from a difficult qualifying session that left them 10th and 11th on the grid.
