Video: Peter Windsor recounts Max Verstappen – Carlos Sainz duel in 2022 Canadian GP. Peter Windsor reflects on the Canadian GP.

Their races had taken different routes, different forms – but, when they bunched up behind a Safety Car with 15 laps to go, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Scuderia Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz were more-or-less back at parity: both were on hard tyres and Max was in front; Carlos, on the other hand, had had a slight top speed advantage all day – and was now running newer tyres. And so they raced – nose to tail, cat-and-mouse. There were no overtakes..but the tension was palpable.

It was Formula 1 at its 2022 best. It was Max who won the sprint, from Carlos – and it was an ebullient Lewis Hamilton who finished third for Mercedes, as Peter Windsor recounts.
