Mercedes’ George Russell didn’t put a foot wrong from lights out to the checkered flag in Sunday’s Canadian GP, and despite a relentless Max Verstappen pressing. But Lando Norris dealt a bitter blow to McLaren as he collided with his teammate Oscar Piastri. But overall, F1 fans in Montreal were given their money’s worth.

Here’s our recap in pictures of the day’s action at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
