'F1: The Movie' trailer: Brad Pitt drives fast in Formula 1 film
Brad Pitt plays a veteran driver recruited for a Formula 1 race team and Damson Idris is the hotshot racer in "F1: The Movie."
Formula 1 has a new winner for 2025.
Last weekend's Canadian Grand Prix saw a non-McLaren driver take victory for just the third time in the first 10 races. Mercedes' George Russell earned pole position and his first win of the season in the best weekend of the season for the team. His teammate, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, came home third to give Mercedes its first double-podium of the year.
Four-time defending champion Max Verstappen kept close to Russell but couldn't challenge him for the win.
The McLarens couldn't match Russell and Verstappen's pace on race day. Instead, they collided with each other late enough to force the race to finish under safety car conditions. Lando Norris tried to pass Oscar Piastri for fourth on the start/finish straight but instead hit Piastri's left rear tire and went into the wall. Norris immediately took responsibility for the incident on team radio in the first clash between this year's top two title contenders.
That finish meant Piastri widened his lead atop the drivers' championship standings to 22 points, nearly a full race win's points haul, over this teammate. Norris still holds a 21-point gap to Verstappen even with his crash and Verstappen's second-place finish.

That was a thrilling end to an exciting race as usual in Canada. Will F1 be back on track this weekend? Here's what to know:
Is there a Formula 1 race this weekend?
No, the teams get a week off following the Canadian Grand Prix. It was one of the "fly-away" races of the schedule so the grid gets a week off before and after.
The F1 grid returns to Europe in the next race of the season in the Austrian Grand Prix. It's the first of a double-header from June into July.
When is the next F1 race?
The next F1 race will be the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday, June 29.
In 2024, that race saw the first of many clashes between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. The two collided when fighting for the lead late in the race, handing the victory to Mercedes' George Russell.

Why Ferrari can't win in F1, but it can win Le Mans. Plus, Robert Kubica praise

Prime Tire Newsletter | This is The Athletic's twice-weekly F1 newsletter. Sign up here to receive Prime Tire directly in your inbox on Tuesday and Friday. Welcome back to Prime Tire, where I still don't know what Lando Norris was thinking in going left and not right against Oscar Piastri late in the Canadian Grand Prix. But the other big story from Montreal concerned Ferrari. Specifically, team boss Fred Vasseur's reaction to critical reporting of La Scuderia in Italian media after Ferrari's poor performances so far this year. Then, its World Endurance Championship Hypercar won the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours, and everyone started thinking the same thing… I'm Alex, and Luke Smith will be along later, but first, we hear from one of our valued readers. The F1 roots in Ferrari's Le Mans success 'I hope you are going to do a longer piece on this, but what's with Ferrari? If they can put together a winning program in WEC, etc…' Well, to the anonymous but still cherished reader who replied with the above to our mailbag call out for questions last weekend, thank you for the query, and I hope I can do it justice in reply. The answer is: Not really, but it cannot be denied that the Ferrari 499P's third successive victory at Le Mans essentially all came down to the WEC's Balance of Performance technical rules. These are intended to create performance parity between the eight manufacturers that compete for glory in the category's top class. This is the equivalent of the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class in the IMSA SportsCar Championship stateside. Advertisement The Porsche Penske 963 car that finished second by only 14.1 seconds last Sunday had pretty much a perfect 24-hour race — as explained here on The Race's dedicated 2025 Le Mans podcast — and all three Ferraris that surrounded it hit issues. Many were self-inflicted. That the 499P topped the speed traps on an 8.47-mile track with three massive straights, despite there being a dedicated Le Mans BOP to balance top speeds for each car above 155mph, played a big part in a Porsche defeat that should've been greater. The consensus from observers is that the Le Mans-specific BOP failed in 2025. Ferrari has now won all four of 2025's WEC races to this point and dominates both the drivers' and manufacturers' standings. Oh, how Fred Vasseur's squad must envy such positions. And Ferrari's F1 team came into 2025 on a high. After scoring its highest win total for six years last season, it had a little-known seven-time world champion named LEWIS HAMILTON onboard for the first time. But its SF-25 car has been a clear step backwards, and although Ferrari is not far off second in the 2025 constructors' standings right now, it hasn't looked like doing a Mercedes and snatching a win off the McLarens/Max Verstappen battle at the front. Here's why: Vasseur also bizarrely claimed, 'It's not like this that we'll be able to win a championship… at least not with this kind of journalist around us.' Let me tell you, if journos have the reins of an F1 technical department that will make for absolutely spiffing headlines, but not good cars… An upgrade for Ferrari's ride height issue is expected to be unleashed across the coming Austrian and British races. Mercedes has shown how, in Canada, with the field so close, even as McLaren dominates, it doesn't take much for a team's results to be transformed. No pressure then, Fred… Now, and apologies to the TL;DR crowd, but here's why the Ferrari WEC car has proved to be so successful, even the quasi-privateer squad AF Corse could take overall Le Mans glory in 2025: Here ends my TED Talk, but we're not leaving the sports car realm just yet. What a day last Sunday was for Williams' 2019 F1 driver line-up. Not only did George Russell win the Canadian GP, but his teammate that year, Robert Kubica, led AF Corse's Le Mans triumph. That's no exaggeration — he completed 43% of his car's laps, 387 for a three-driver crew. Kubica will need no introduction to seasoned motorsport fans, but just in case it's handy, here's his career summary. Kubica's rally crash not only nearly killed him, but it also stopped him from completing a mooted Ferrari F1 deal to race alongside Fernando Alonso back in 2012. Dark days and many surgeries followed. His grit and perseverance deserve all the applause. Congrats, Robert. Now here's what the F1 paddock had to say about his Le Mans win. The last time I spoke to Robert Kubica was at the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He'd spent the season as Sauber's reserve driver, but was starting to dip his toe further into sports car racing, having made his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut that year in the LMP2 class. He was somewhat noncommittal when discussing F1 (his main backer was heading to AlphaTauri), but when I started talking about sports cars, he lit up. The debate over the future of Le Mans and its chances of racing in the Hypercar category one day took up the majority of the interview. I even got a compliment (rare for racing drivers!) about how much he enjoyed the chat at the end. Advertisement So, to see Kubica now an outright Le Mans victor, in a Ferrari, filled me with joy — and the rest of the F1 paddock too. Both before and after the race finished at 10 am in Montreal, people couldn't help but share their delight over the result. To this day, Kubica's determination and speed command such respect in the F1 world. 'I'm very happy for him,' said Fernando Alonso, himself a double Le Mans winner. 'We talked a few times about how special that race is, and he deserves to experience that. He's a legend of our sport. And now he is even more after winning Le Mans in his career. (After) some of the pain that he went through with the accident and things like that, I think, today is a very happy day for motorsport.' Vasseur called Kubica 'extraterrestrial' for what he'd achieved at Le Mans. 'What he's doing is mega, and to win in Le Mans in this situation and to be the leader of the car, it's something that I can't imagine,' Vasseur added. 'I'm very pleased for Robert. He had a chaotic career in motorsport, and when you see the level of effort that he put into his career, I'm pleased for him to have this kind of result.' Kubica may never have gotten the F1 career or success he deserved, but Sunday was a firm reminder of just how fondly he is thought of within our paddock. 🎲 Daniel Ricciardo's life outside F1 took an… interesting turn yesterday when it was announced he's done a deal with a betting company. The reaction from fans on his Instagram page was so bad that the eight-time grand prix winner had to limit comments. Grim. 🍿 Luke and Madeline Coleman reviewed 'F1: The Movie' ahead of its release next week. SPOILERS INCLUDED, SORRY, BUT I HAVE TO SHOUT THAT JUST IN CASE, YOU'RE WELCOME. 🏎 Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the 2005 United States Grand Prix, which featured six cars and beer being chucked towards eventual winner Michael Schumacher of Ferrari. How far F1 has come in the USA since that farcical day, which, for some baffling reason, isn't in F1's extended race highlights archive on YouTube… 📫 Love Prime Tire?

Red Bull's Canadian GP protest should spark F1 reform

Red Bull's decision to appeal the result of the Canadian Grand Prix drew widespread criticism, with Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff branding it 'petty' and 'embarrassing.' The ensuing delay in confirming the race result drew negative reactions from both fans and the media alike. It took more than five and a half hours for George Russell's victory to be officially confirmed by the FIA, after he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the stewards. Advertisement By that point, Max Verstappen had already left Canadian airspace – choosing not to wait and see if he might inherit the win from the Brit. Red Bull's protest centred on claims that Russell had driven 'erratically' behind the safety car and that his heavy braking amounted to 'unsportsmanlike behaviour.' Both arguments were dismissed by the stewards. However, it was the delay in reaching that decision that was the main problem, and also raises questions about the process of protesting a race result. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing Wolff criticised the timing of the protest, telling Sky Sports at the New York premiere of the F1 movie: 'It was two hours before [Red Bull] launched the protest, so that was their doing. It's so petty and so small. They come up with some weird clauses – what they call clauses. I guess the FIA needs to look at that because it was so far-fetched, it got rejected.' Advertisement Unsurprisingly, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner defended the protest. Speaking to the same outlet, he said: 'It's a team's right to do so. You have the ability to put it in front of the stewards, and that's what we chose to do. Absolutely no regrets.' Who is at Fault? Teams are entitled to protest the outcome of a race if they believe a sporting regulation has been violated or that new evidence was missed by the stewards. Horner revealed that the appeal cost €2,000 (£1,700) and admitted he was surprised Russell's driving wasn't flagged by the stewards initially. This also wasn't Red Bull's first protest of the season. During May's Miami Grand Prix, Russell – who once again finished ahead of Verstappen – was accused of failing to slow under yellow flags. Red Bull were making a point and felt Russell had not slowed sufficiently, with Horner saying they were simply seeking clarity of the regulations. Advertisement That claim, too, was dismissed. Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing While there's no suggestion that Red Bull is deliberately targeting Russell, who has had a series of tense exchanges with Verstappen in recent years, the repeated protests do raise questions about the current appeal process in general. The €2,000 cost of filing a protest is not a deterrent, should a team wish to make a point or seek clarification over a regulation. After all, there are other mechanisms for this to be raised that would not delay the outcome of a race result. But if that fee were increased and counted toward the cost cap – it could discourage teams from lodging speculative appeals without solid evidence. Advertisement A higher financial burden would likely ensure only well-founded protests are brought forward, potentially speeding up the process for the stewards and avoiding unnecessary delays. A problem of resources In the case of Canada, the situation was further complicated by the sheer volume of post-race investigations. According to the rules, incidents are reviewed in the order they are reported. Red Bull's protest, submitted two hours after the chequered flag, was placed last in the queue. Esteban Ocon, Haas F1 Team, Carlos Sainz, Williams, Gabriel Bortoleto, Sauber Esteban Ocon, Haas F1 Team, Carlos Sainz, Williams, Gabriel Bortoleto, Sauber Before reaching Russell's case, the stewards had to examine incidents involving Ollie Bearman, Lando Norris, and Esteban Ocon – followed by seven separate alleged infringements of the safety car procedure. Advertisement It was a frustrating experience for everyone. Fans at the circuit left without clarity, while many in Europe went to bed not knowing who had actually won the race. It was not a good look for a sport that is trying to grow its appeal around the world. Maybe there is scope for race stewards to delegate, meaning that the Remote Operations Centre in Geneva could cycle through the lesser offences using all the technology at its disposal. That would free up those stewards at the track to oversee Red Bull's protest and ultimately result in quicker decision-making. Another possibility would be to increase the number of stewards, something the FIA is already working on as it looks to increase its pool of qualified race officials. Interestingly, in Canada, officials at the race had more resources at their disposal as the FIA had four stewards adjudicating the race rather than the usual three. The increase in stewards is being trialled at six raced this year, including at Singapore and Brazil later this season.
