Worth Watching Score

8.2

Montréal’s changeable weather kept this one lively, with rain and a tricky dry crossover turning strategy into the main battleground. A mid-race Safety Car bunched the pack and helped produce 65 overtakes, as George Russell managed the conditions superbly to beat Max Verstappen, with Kimi Antonelli sealing a composed P3 for a Mercedes double podium. Three DNFs raised the jeopardy around pit timing and tire calls, rewarding the brave and punishing hesitation. Not an instant classic, but a tense, well-executed race with genuine wheel-to-wheel action and strategy swings—well worth a watch.
