Summary
Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah re-live the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix - the battle between the Mercedes duo, the legendary Antonelli-Hamilton-Verstappen podium, and of course, McLaren's "inters" choice as the race start tyre. Most of us watch Formula One for the battles, the crashes, and the moments that leave us gasping — and Kimi Antonelli just served up a whole lot of all three. The teenager’s fearless, daredevil driving at Canada’s GP had fans wondering: is he the new Goliath ready to take on the giant, or just a wild card rewriting the rulebook?
