## Resource

George Russell’s Canadian race ended in heartbreak after a catastrophic battery failure on lap 30, just as he was battling for victory—his first DNF of the season and a major blow to Mercedes’ championship hopes. The team’s first major upgrade weekend ended in disappointment, with Russell now 43 points behind Kimi Antonelli. Engineers are urgently investigating heat damage to prevent recurrence, as reliability looms larger than ever in the title fight.
