Verstappen Triumphs in Thrilling Wet-Dry Race at Canadian Grand Prix.

In a nail-biting wet-dry Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen of Red Bull emerged victorious in a thrilling five-car battle for the lead during the final 10 laps.

Max Verstappen showcased his expertise by brilliantly managing a restart after a safety-car period with 11 laps remaining, propelling himself into a commanding lead. 

Behind him, a fierce battle unfolded between McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, along with the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.

Verstappen quickly widened the gap to nearly two seconds in just one lap, firmly establishing control of the race until the checkered flag.

Throughout the race, Norris had briefly led twice as the track conditions shifted between wet and dry. However, he ultimately couldn't match Verstappen's pace when it mattered most, settling for second place.

Russell, who initially led early on from his first pole position in nearly two years, managed to pass Hamilton in the closing laps, securing the final podium spot. Despite a couple of errors during the race, Russell's performance was commendable.

Hamilton finished in fourth place ahead of Piastri, with Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin securing sixth place in a race filled with drama and intense battles for position.
