Formula One leader Max Verstappen drove to his 60th career victory Sunday at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Verstappen became the third driver to three-peat at the Canadian GP, joining seven-time world champions Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton.

The 26-year-old Red Bull driver started second on the grid behind George Russell at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

The race started with a soaking wet track on a gloomy day in Montreal.

Blue skies emerged 10 minutes in but rain showers returned periodically throughout the afternoon, causing tricky conditions.
