Kimi Antonelli has solidified his championship lead by securing his fourth consecutive victory in the Canadian Grand Prix.

Despite facing challenges with car failures and penalties, McLaren's Lando Norris will look to capitalize on his past success at the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix. Hometown hero Charles Leclerc, who recently signed a new contract with Ferrari, also has a previous win in Monte-Carlo to his name from 2024.
