George Russell topped Edd Straw’s 22-driver ranking despite a race DNF, with the assessment crediting his sprint pole, sprint win, grand prix pole and lead before a power-unit failure.
Kimi Antonelli ranked second after winning the race from second on the grid, but Straw said the 19-year-old’s rough edges and reliance on Russell’s retirement kept him off top spot.
Lewis Hamilton placed third after finishing second for Ferrari, praised for his strongest grand prix drive yet with the team even after missed opportunities in the sprint and qualifying.
Lando Norris and Max Verstappen completed the top five, while Lindblad, Colapinto, Sainz, Lawson and Perez rounded out the top 10 despite several mechanical problems and race errors across the field.
The ranking framed Montreal as a demanding test for all 22 drivers, with changing conditions, reliability failures and incidents separating outright results from overall performance.
