Verstappen was unflappable and led the entire 2023 F1 Canadian Grand Prix making history for both Red Bull Racing and himself.
It was a momentous and historical victory both for Red Bull Racing and the racer. The victory was the 41st for Verstappen, which ties him with Aryton Senna for fifth all time. The race also marked Red Bull Racing's 100th win since entering F1 in 2005.Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso came out swinging with a surprise performance. The Spaniard traded places with Lewis Hamilton multiple times throughout the race and managed to hold off the Brit to come in second.
Mayhem in the pits created a handful of near misses, and F1 officials investigated multiple instances during the race. All parties, including Hamilton, Alonso, and Lando Norris, were cleared of wrongdoing and no further action was taken. During the last few turns of the last lap, Norris made a heroic attempt to overtake Gasly, but the effort didn't pay off. Nor would it matter, as he lost his points finish after the flag dropped. Officials gave him a five-second penalty for"unsportsmanlike conduct" behind the Safety Car. The call was made after Norris was accused of backing up traffic to clear the way for a McLaren double stack in the pits.
After the 2023 Canadian F1 Grand Prix, Verstappen is in the clear lead for the 2023 Drivers' Championship with 195 points. Perez remains in second now with 126 points, but Alonso is coming up quickly with 117 points and Hamilton is chasing with 102 points. In the Constructors' Championship, Red Bull Racing is far ahead of the competition with 321 points. Mercedes-Benz AMG sits in second place far behind with 167 points, while Aston Martin trails in third with 154.
