WET AND WILD

LANDO NORRIS felt he had a "perfect" race even if it was not enough to stop Max Verstappen.

Red Bull put their Monaco horror weekend behind them as the Dutchman returned to the top step of the podium yesterday.

But it was far from a straightforward victory as McLaren and Mercedes pushed him hard throughout.

Wet weather in Montreal meant it was all about who would win the strategy battle and who could keep their car out of the wall.

Red Bull came out on top to guide Verstappen home in first place as Brits George Russell and Norris were left to squabble behind.

All three led at various stages as they tried to get to grips with a track which dried fast when the sun was out, but which kept being doused with rain.

That was the story of the first twothirds of the race.

Pole-sitter Russell led for 20 laps and looked comfortable, until he made a mistake while defending from Norris and had to cut the final chicane.
