P2 in Montreal Verstappen finished second in the Canadian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on Sunday afternoon.
Impact Verstappen started on the outside pole and he was unable to beat George Russell for the lead off the mark. The Red Bull Racing star would settle into P2 and ride there until his lap 12 pit stop and attempt to undercut Russell. It wouldn't work as Russell would pit one lap later. Verstappen would hold down second-place and face some heated challenges from Kimi Antonelli later in the grand prix but the world champion would hold steady and collect second-place as the race ended under the safety car. It was Verstappen's fifth podium of the season.

Drops to 10th after penalty Verstappen finished 10th in the Spanish Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.
Impact Verstappen was in an interesting strategic matchup with both McLaren drivers for much of the race, as he employed a three-stop strategy as opposed to two for the Papaya. He was going to be on the losing end of that battle, but he still looked to be set for a return to the podium. That changed when Kimi Antonelli suffered an engine failure, resulting in a safety car that bunched up the field and also caused most teams to pit at least one of their drivers. Verstappen was forced to utilize hard tires, his only set remaining, putting him at a disadvantage relative to both Charles Leclerc and George Russell. In a battle with the latter, Verstappen was asked to give back P4 in the final laps after gaining an advantage by going off track, but Verstappen instead seemingly intentionally drove into the side of the Mercedes and incurred a 10-second penalty that resulted in his worst finish of the year.

Fades to fourth Verstappen finished fourth at the Miami Grand Prix F1 race at Miami International Autodrome on Sunday.
Impact Verstappen began the race from pole but immediately came under pressure from McLaren's Oscar Piastri. Verstappen held onto the lead valiantly but simply didn't have the pace to maintain the position in the long term. He also ran into some bad luck at various points in the weekend, as he was released unsafely from the pits in the sprint race -- costing him points -- and the timing of a Virtual Safety Car also pushed him off the podium in the grand prix. Verstappen has started on pole in half of the six races this season but has only one race win to show for it.

P2 at Jeddah Verstappen finished second in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday evening.
Impact Verstappen would get a tough wheel-to-wheel battle into turn 1 after the lights out from Oscar Piastri. The Red Bull Racing star would retain the lead but only because he went off track and gained an advantage through the outside of the turn. Verstappen would lead all the way to his opening pitstop on lap 21 but would have to serve a 5-second penalty for his off-track excursion. That would put him on the comeback trail the rest of the race. Verstappen could only manage to close within 3-seconds of Piastri in the closing laps and would have to settle for the runner-up finish in Saudi Arabia.

Impact Verstappen couldn't pull off the same miraculous performance that he did in Japan, as he suffered from slow pit stops and brake issues. He remained in the points fight all day, nevertheless, and was able to gain track position by staying out after a late safety car caused nearly the entire field to pit.
