A power unit failure on George Russell's Mercedes on lap 30 of the Canadian Grand Prix left his teammate Kimi Antonelli without a direct rival and with a clear track to claim his fourth consecutive victory. The Italian managed the rest of the race unchallenged and took the checkered flag 10.7 seconds ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who advanced from fifth place in the Ferrari. Antonelli's lead in the drivers' championship grew to 43 points.

Russell stopped his car at Turn 9 of the Gilles Villeneuve circuit because the engine failed and the electronics shut down. Up until that moment, the two Mercedes drivers had exchanged positions several times in a duel that had been heating up since Saturday. In the sprint race, Antonelli went off the grass twice and touched Russell at Turn 8, prompting Toto Wolff to order him over the radio to focus on driving. On Sunday, the overtakes continued, and on lap 24 they touched at the final chicane. Antonelli went off track and returned the position by team order. Russell's engine failure ended the fight before it could escalate further.

McLaren gambled on intermediate tyres at the start and lost the race in two laps. Lando Norris got ahead at the getaway, but both he and Oscar Piastri pitted for slicks and fell to the back of the pack. Piastri hit Alex Albon at the hairpin and received a 10‑second penalty. Norris retired on lap 40 with a gearbox failure. The virtual safety car for his retirement allowed the leaders to switch from softs to mediums without losing time.

Hamilton caught Max Verstappen on lap 62 and snatched second place with a braking move into Turn 1. Verstappen scored his first top‑3 of the year for Red Bull, and Charles Leclerc was fourth. Isack Hadjar finished fifth despite a stop‑and‑go penalty for ignoring yellow flags — a sanction that did not cost him a position thanks to his gap over the rest.

Franco Colapinto finished sixth for Alpine, his best result; Liam Lawson was seventh, Pierre Gasly eighth, Carlos Sainz ninth, and Oliver Bearman tenth. Fernando Alonso retired with a seat problem in the Aston Martin, and Sergio Pérez retired when his Cadillac's front suspension collapsed as he entered the pits. Arvid Lindblad did not start due to a clutch failure on the formation lap. Of the 22 cars that started, 16 took the checkered flag, and the top four finished on the lead lap. The next round is the Monaco Grand Prix.
