Hello and a very warm welcome to the Lake Breaking F1 podcast presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking, here today to review the Canadian Grand Prix.

One, very familiar tale at the moment, by Kimmy Antonelli.

That in itself, though, definitely not telling the whole story.

George Russell retiring from the Grand Prix,

meaning a massive 25-point swing in the championship.

Sam, it is 10 minutes past 11 at night here,

which means for the next hour or so,

we are going to be the biggest enemies of our respective neighbours. Yeah, they love us when it comes to any time past about 9pm, because

episode. Moment of the race coming up later on, as we always do on these race reviews. We're

going to be reviewing our bold predictions. Let's see if either of us are able to either

extend our lead or finally get one right. We've got McLaren there, very difficult day, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton and their great battle over second place. But let's start with Kimmy Antonelli, who took this race victory, a very comfortable sort of second, two-thirds of this race, but only after George Russell, who was ahead, then second, then ahead again, then ahead again, then

retired due to a power unit issue. I mean, we were treated, Sam, to about 25 laps of back
