Max Verstappen had an extraordinary performance at the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, winning his fourth consecutive Formula One race and continuing his world title bid. It was a perfect start to the 2021 season for Red Bull, with Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez winning every race between the two of them.
Verstappen started on pole and finished first at the chequered flag, with Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton finishing second and third respectively. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz of Ferrari ended up fourth and fifth. It was an exciting race, with Hamilton passing Alonso at the first corner on the first lap to take second. Alonso then reclaimed the spot on lap 22 after nearly colliding with Hamilton entering the pit lane.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as well for Mercedes' George Russell, who started fourth. He hit a wall on lap 12 and had to retire on lap 55 after his car was deemed undrivable.
Verstappen looks to be the strong contender for the world championship title this year. If his performance in Canada was any indication, his third consecutive win may be imminent.
