A return to Canada after years away and what a race we were treated to. After all was said and done it was just .9 of a second that separated the top two as Verstappen came home to win once again.

It was a tail of 2 halvs for the mighty Alonso, a mega run into qualifying saw the double world champion take P2 for the first time in years, but after two missed opportunities, a PU issue and a penalty to boot the Spaniard was once again rueing what might have been.

The men in Red showed they still have the pace and with Leclerc climbing through the field and a fast finishing Sainz they showed this title fight may just have a few more twists in the tail.

The FIA intervention sparked some heated exchanges between team bosses as word of a technical directive was set to be put in place on safety grounds, Mercedes asked for some help but will this go against the silver arrows just as they look to be finding solutions.

And spare a thought for the ground hog that kissed the front wing of Latifi, because, well, it bought a tear to our eye.

All that plus Race Ranking, Race Review, Driver Votes, Dud of the Day, F1.5, Beyond the Bet, Fantasy, News, Gossip, Fan Frenzy returns and much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.
