Max Verstappen to win Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix 2022. The Red Bull driver endured the pressure carlos sainz at the end of the race.

The Canadian GP took place on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, Monday (20/6/2022) early in the morning WIB. Max Verstappen, who started from pole, managed to keep his position after the start.

But with Verstappen leading the race, Red Bull lost another driver, Sergio Perez, on lap eight. Perez had gearbox issues.

Verstappen’s lead lasted long and he looked comfortable in the lead. But the entry of the Safety Car on lap 49 following Yuki Tsunoda’s accident made the situation interesting.

This race itself was colored by two Virtual Safety Cars (VSC). Verstappen entered the pits on the first VSC on lap nine when Perez had to pull aside, while Sainz remained on the track.

Sainz had just entered the pits for the next 11 laps when Mick Schumacher was unable to continue racing and stopped on the track. This gave Sainz the lead in tire terms and thus closed the distance to Verstappen, until the Red Bull driver pitted again on lap 43.

But the entry of the safety car on lap 49 was used by Sainz to change tires and give him a six-lap advantage over Verstappen. It’s just that Verstappen managed to keep his distance within the one-second range for the last 15 laps, to secure the win.

Lewis Hamilton took third place and returned to the podium after the Bahrain Grand Prix in the series opener. Charles Leclerc performed brilliantly to finish fifth after starting from 15th position.
