    George Russell said the title is Kimi Antonelli's "to lose" now, given the 43-point advantage the teenager holds over him at the top of the drivers' championship. There's a run of four races in five weeks coming up, though, so there are immediate opportunities for Russell to claw his way back into this fight.

    Lewis Hamilton has moved above reigning world champion Lando Norris following his second place in Canada and the McLaren driver's DNF. Both scored points in the sprint race but now seven-time world champion Hamilton is 14 points clear of Norris - and only three behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, who was fourth in Montreal.

    Alpine's Pierre Gasly also a gained place after round five and is now eighth in the standings, while team-mate Franco Colapinto is just one point off the top 10 following his career-best finish of sixth last time out.

    Hello, folks. Formula 1 has touched down in Europe for the next couple of months and first up is the jewel in the sport's crown: The Monaco Grand Prix.

    Monte Carlo is home for many of the drivers on the grid but only one is a true native of the Principality. Charles Leclerc arrives on home soil this weekend with a new long-term contract with Ferrari signed and sealed that will keep him with the Scuderia for the "coming seasons".

    We left off in Canada with Kimi Antonelli once again on the top step of the podium, celebrating with a non-alcoholic beverage after securing his fourth consecutive victory of the season. The Italian teenager was joined by Lewis Hamilton in second and Max Verstappen in third.

    On the other side of the Mercedes garage, Montreal polesitter George Russell was left downcast following his retirement midway through the grand prix. The Briton now trails his team-mate by 43 points in the drivers' championship.
