It had to happen some time. It happened before the season was halfway done. The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix culminated in Lando Norris running into the back of team-mate Oscar Piastri trying a desperate overtake in the final stages, crashing out of the race.

Up at the very front, Max Verstappen just couldn't find the pace to catch and pass George Russell, who won the race and was joined on the podium by his teenage team-mate Kimi Antonelli.

Norris was eliminated from the race immediately as his championship-leading team-mate continued on, taking full responsibility for the incident immediately on team radio.

An incredibly underwhelming race – that one late flashpoint aside – finished under the safety car brought out to retrieve Norris' car from the front straight.

Friday and Saturday's mixed up practice sessions, as well as the red-hot qualifying session, had hinted at a fascinating race full of tactical intrigue and on-track action.

One local groundhog even appeared to take matters into its own hands, with a video clip circulating online apparently showing it sat calmly on the racing line as it let Lewis Hamilton remove it violently from this mortal coil.

After a strong showing earlier in the weekend, Ferrari could only cruise round in no-man's land to fifth and sixth.

Who is the current F1 world champion?

Max Verstappen is the reigning F1 champion, won his fourth drivers' championship last year.

2025 rule change removes fastest lap point

Fastest lap points have been banished for 2025. Since 2019, drivers have picked up an extra point if they finish in the top 10 and achieve the fastest lap.

However, it did lead to some drivers abandoning their races to pit and fit a set of new tyres at the end in order to claim the fastest lap point, or to stop a rival from getting the extra point.

The most famous example of this in 2024 came during Daniel Ricciardo's final F1 race, when the Australian finished last but claimed the fastest lap on the final lap of the Singapore GP, taking the extra point away from Lando Norris and helping Max Verstappen's title bid.
