weekend\u201d of his F1 career in Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Leclerc had been struggling with brakes earlier in the weekend, but stressed that in the race, tyres were his main issue.<\/p>\n<p>Helped by attrition ahead, Leclerc eventually finished fourth after a scrappy race, his fortunes contrasting with those of Lewis Hamilton, who passed Max Verstappen in the latter stages to claim second place.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-05\/xpb_1410153_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp
