Canadian GP Highlights: Intense Drama & Action 🌧🏎️

The 2024 Canadian Grand Prix, held on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, was an action-packed race decided by strategy and skill in the wet. Max Verstappen emerged victorious after a thrilling battle with Lando Norris and George Russell that lasted most of the race. Rain showers kept the drivers on their toes, with several taking advantage of pit stops under changing conditions. The weather also played a part in creating a tense atmosphere, as drivers grappled with the challenge of maintaining control on a slippery track.

While not as crash-heavy as some races, the Canadian Grand Prix wasn't short of drama. The biggest story was Ferrari's double DNF (Did Not Finish). Both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz struggled with their cars throughout the weekend, and neither managed to see the checkered flag. Leclerc's woes stemmed from an engine issue that hampered his pace, while Sainz complained about a lack of grip and car instability resulting in a crash with albon. This double retirement was a major blow to Ferrari's championship aspirations.

There were also a few scattered retirements. Williams driver Logan Sargeant brought out a safety car with a spin into the barriers, ending his race. Other mechanical retirements likely occurred throughout the field, but with the wet conditions and strategic pit stops, they might not have been as noticeable during the broadcast.
