Italian driver Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes won the Canadian Grand Prix on May 25, 2026, at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal, marking his fourth consecutive Formula 1 victory. This win extends his lead in the championship standings, following a competitive race that saw his Mercedes teammate George Russell retire due to engine failure.
Antonelli finished over 10 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton. The victory gives Antonelli a 43-point lead over Russell after five of 22 races. Mercedes currently leads the constructors' standings with 219 points, 72 points ahead of Ferrari, which holds 147 points. McLaren is in third place with 106 points.
Russell, who had won the sprint race the previous day and started Sunday's race from pole position, experienced an engine failure, ending a close battle with Antonelli. Hamilton secured second place, his best result since joining Ferrari, by overtaking Red Bull's Max Verstappen with six laps remaining. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished fourth, followed by Red Bull's Isack Hadjar.
