Canada always provides the craziest races – see Jenson Button’s win in 2011 - and this weekend didn’t disappoint as weather and Safety Cars sparked several different strategies and some tight calls across the pit lane.

Given our recent history in Canada – going into this weekend, we hadn’t scored a point in Montréal since 2014 – we were glad to be fighting at the front, even if Lando did end up on the wrong side of a Safety Car period. But another podium and a haul of 28 points means we left with Canada with a smile on our faces for the first time in a while.

Amongst the most enjoyable races of the season so far, the Canadian Grand Prix gave you plenty to talk about on X, and we’ve captured the best of it in our social media wrap-up... 

Oh, nm, just some racin’.

Whatcha doing there? Anything fun?

All we’re saying, is we’re glad he’s good at racing.

I thought we agreed to talk about decisions before we made them? We had an ink-ling something was going on when they snuck off together on Thursday. 🖊️

omg they are actually doing it 😭😭

— josh ✩ (@joshspapaya) June 7, 2024

Yep, I did it again! 😂 Another tattoo, this time for our win in Miami, and Lando’s first in F1. I have to say, it was just as painful as the first time. Thankfully, Lando was there to give me all the encouragement I needed… not! pic.twitter.com/N2jcrI8xly

At least we can take our minds off their inking escapades by looking forward to a sunny practice session… Wait, what? ☔

that ain't slight bro, please

— Steph⁴ (@stxphology) June 7, 2024

We’ve got a working theory that the reason they’re so sweet is because they’re made of sugar.

Hoping that Lando and Oscar are waterproof

— Julien - Papaya Team 🧡🏎️ (@frenchpapayafan) June 7, 2024

Sounds like a reasonable request.

We want no mistakes this weekend please

Certain team members still aren’t talking to each other after the Wild Draw 4 card was pulled last time.

I was expecting an UNO game tbh as well 😂😂👏

— Bee ⁴ 🏳️‍🌈 (@beeisnottoobusy) June 7, 2024

Consistency is key. Lando, Oscar and the team giving us plenty to race for.

I will take 3rd and 4th on the grid we go attack tomorrow and get some more big points 🧡🧡🧡🧡

— alisha⁴🏎️🧡 (@snowyl4ndo) June 9, 2024

It had been a steady start to the race from the whole grid, but Lando switched on the style 20 laps in to take P2.

Vamos!!!

— Miguel Cruz 🇲🇽 (@MiguelCruzH) June 9, 2024

However, he didn’t last long there… As he overtook Russell for the lead.

YES LETS GO 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

HOW IS HE SO FASTSTTT

— charlotte (@charlotte_HS3) June 9, 2024

A poorly timed Safety Car robbed Lando of the lead, though.

— Jennings (@trumpetsrmoney) June 9, 2024

He was 11.5 seconds up before Logan crashed 😭

— Sam Brown (@SamBrown027) June 9, 2024

Oscar was defending from Russell like crazy, but he was unable to hold the Mercedes off.

Loving his defense

— Andy (@AndyRobinson100) June 9, 2024

So close to double mclaren podium 💔🥲

— Evie MacKenzie🌻 (@EvieMacKenzie04) June 9, 2024

With Lando retaining second at the flag, that’s now five McLaren podiums in a row.

Yea baby 👊🏻🧡

Has a Sunday really happened if Lando hasn’t done his signature champagne spike? 

Things we love to see. Sunday is now complete 🍾
