    To this day, I still don't understand Hamilton's decision to join Ferrari. Their communication and race strategies have been awful over the last few years.

  2. Lap 61/70

    The DRS is with Lando Norris but still he can't pounce on McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri. The gap is 10 points between the two in the championship.

  3. Lap 60/70

    The laps are ticking down, which will be music to George Russell's ears. The Mercedes has a bit of clear air between himself and Max Verstappen in second, with Kimi Antonelli desperate to claim his first F1 podium in third.

    Max Verstappen is within two seconds of George Russell which is some of the closest we've seen all race long.

    Verstappen can see Russell, but can he close in?

  5. Lap 59/70

    The battle with Kimi Antonelli may have hindered Oscar Piastri. Lando Norris now has DRS on his team-mate, so we could see the McLaren scrap play out in the closing stages of this Montreal race.

    Nulla Pax: I'm really feeling sorry for Lawson these days. He just isn't getting a break at all.

  7. Lap 58/70

    The pressure is ramping up for the front five drivers. The pack reach a gaggle of backmarkers but make it through the crowds safely. George Russell has stepped up the pace and is 1.9seconds clear of Max Verstappen.

    This battle between Kimi Antonelli and Oscar Pisatri is helping Max Verstappen just slowly creep away from third and fourth place.

    It looks like whenever Oscar Pisatri gets close, he then overheats his tyres.

  9. Lawson retires

    Lap 57/70

    Liam Lawson is the second driver to retire from the Canadian Grand Prix. Day done for the Racing Bulls man.

    The front is starting to getting tasty. Max Verstappen is getting closer and closer to George Russell to challenge for the race lead, while Lando Norris is chasing Oscar Piastri for fourth place.

  10. 'Piastri's car looking dynamic'

    I think it's only a matter of time before we see Oscar Piastri making moves and getting past Kimi Antonelli, his car is looking really dynamic.

  11. Lap 56/70

    Kimi Antonelli is stepping up to the challenge so far, but there are still a decent amount of laps for Oscar Piastri to make an overtake on the Mercedes rookie. Another lap goes by, however, and now Lando Norris is gaining on his team-mate.

  12. 'How is Antonelli going to cope with the pressure?'

    Kimi Antonelli hasn't been inside the top three at this stage in a grand prix before, how is he going to cope with the pressure?

    He's got older tyres than Oscar Piastri who is in the fastest car of the season so far, but that Mercedes has been working so well around this circuit.

  13. Lap 55/70

    A glance in the mirrors by Kimi Antonelli and he'll see the bright papaya of Oscar Piastri. The Aussie is trying to reel the Italian in but no dice. Antonelli stays third and Piastri keeps fourth.

  14. Lap 54/70

    Ferrari bring Charles Leclerc in and now George Russell takes over the lead in Montreal once again. Max Verstappen is second and Kimi Antonelli is third, but Oscar Piastri is pushing hard in the McLaren to catch the young Mercedes driver.

    The medium compound tyre has not been a good race tyre, it hasn't lasted long and it's only quick for three to five laps and then it drops off like a stone.

    It overheats too quickly so that is what Ferrari are concerned about at this stage, they need to get Charles Leclerc another three or four laps into this race before making that jump to the medium.

  16. Lap 53/70

    Charles Leclerc is asking what's the hold up with the next pit stop? The Monegasque driver has been an annoyed voice on the team radio today because of Ferrari's decisions.

  17. Lap 52/70

    The two McLarens are flying in fifth for Oscar Piastri and sixth for Lando Norris. Australian Piastri is hunting down fresh meat in Kimi Antonelli, so will the rookie Mercedes driver be able to hold off the championship leader?

    Larry Jay: Ferrari have the most bizarre communication... "Who is in front?"...."Pace is very good..." "Why did we just pit?"..."we are on plan F"... Even on a dull race... they never cease to amaze...

    It's harsh for Lance Stroll but it's true, he did force Pierre Gasly quite nastily on to the grass so rightly so he's got a penalty.

  20. Albon retires from race

    Lap 51/70

    Albon Albon safely reached the escape road at the hairpin to keep this Canadian Grand Prix flowing. Meanwhile, Lance Stroll has been handed a 10-second penalty for forcing Pierre Gasly off the track.
