Norris crashed himself out of the race when he inexplicably tried to pass McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri for fourth place with less than five laps left. Norris got past Piastri in the hairpin, but Piastri was able to get back alongside on the corner exit and won the drag race down the main straightaway until the final chicane.

It was George Russell's first win this season and made him only the fourth different winner this year along with the two McLaren men and Max Verstappen.

Since the beginning of the Formula 1 season, this moment was coming. Sunday in Montreal, it arrived.
