Max Verstappen secured a dominant victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, claiming his sixth win of the season and marking Red Bull's 100th Formula 1 triumph.

Starting from pole position, Verstappen maintained his lead throughout all 70 laps at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, securing his fourth consecutive victory without encountering significant challenges.
