In a scene becoming all-too familiar this season, Max Verstappen triumphed for the fifth time in six races by taking the chequered flag in the Canadian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver bided his time and was able to overtake Carlos Sainz to claim the win, while the Spaniard's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, starting from 19th on the grid, fought his way through the field to finish fifth.

Fans were quick to note that Ferrari, from a position of strength earlier this season, is now struggling to keep pace with Red Bull and Verstappen, who are threatening to run away with the constructors' and drivers' championships.

It was at least a more positive weekend for Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finishing third and fourth respectively.

What a race! Love to see Mercedes and more importantly the British drivers up there again. Hopefully they can keep it up for Silverstone in a fortnight! #CanadianGP

Ferrari won‘t win this years Championship. The Red Bull is just to fast. Not even DRS helps. Praying won‘t help. #CanadianGP #F1

What proper close racing toward the end of #CanadianGP - liked that - nerdy tweet but over the years it would've only lasted 2-3 laps & again these new F1 cars/regs keeps the racing close. Verstappen clever defending, and good seeing Lewis Hamilton on the Podium again 🙌 #F1

What a #CanadianGP! Anytime the race comes down to the last lap, it is a treat. Probably the race of the year at this point.

Silverstone will be a TREAT in two weeks!
