Antonelli keeps rolling in Canada, completing four straight wins to start the season
Mercedes-AMG Petronas rookie Kimi Antonelli reinforced his early-season dominance with a win in Montreal. Antonelli crossed the line first at the Canadian Grand Prix (Round 5 of the 2026 F1 World Championship) on May 25 and lifted the winner’s trophy. Mercedes has occupied the top spot in the constructors’ standings since the season opener.
Unbeaten since Round 2 in China, Antonelli’s Canadian triumph was his fourth straight victory of the season. The win also coincided with Mercedes reaching its 300th podium since rejoining F1 in 2010 — a historic double for the team.
Started from P2 and charged to victory; Mercedes dominates both driver and team standings
Starting from P2, Antonelli executed precise race management to reclaim the lead, taking the checkered flag in 1:28:15.758. After five rounds he tops the drivers’ standings with 131 points, while teammate George Russell sits second with 88 — a 1–2 advantage for Mercedes in the drivers’ table.
Mercedes also holds a commanding lead in the constructors’ championship. After Russell won the season opener and Antonelli followed with victories from Round 2 through Round 5, the team has built momentum and now sits 72 points clear of second place.
With Mercedes consolidating the early-season throne, the team will aim to extend its run at the Monaco Grand Prix (Round 6) on June 5–7.
