Max Verstappen (No. 1 Oracle Red Bull Racing) claimed his fifth win in the last six races at the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix, withstanding a late onslaught from Carlos Sainz (No. 55 Scuderia Ferrari), as Lewis Hamilton (No. 44 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team) took his second podium of the season in P3. Verstappen was looking well-placed for a comfortable victory over Sainz at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve when a Safety Car was called on Lap 49 of 70, after Yuki Tsunoda hit the Turn 2 barriers after exiting the pits. Racing resumed with 16 laps remaining, Verstappen holding off the attacks of the fresher-tired Sainz to claim his sixth victory of the season, and his 26th overall, as Sainz took his fifth podium of the year – although the Spaniard’s wait for his first victory continues. Hamilton had been scathing in his assessment of the Mercedes W13 on Friday, but the car looked handy on race day in Canada, as the seven-time champion completed the podium, his first rostrum appearance since the Bahrain season opener.

(crash.net)Fabio Quartararo (No. 20 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) won the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland, which could well be looked back at as a crucial race in the 2022 MotoGP™ World Championship title fight. Fabio not only scored consecutive victories for the first time this year but is now 34 points clear at the top of the standings. Aleix Espargaro (No. 41 Aprilia Racing) remains second in the title race after finishing fourth at the Sachsenring, but Francesco Bagnaia (No. 63 Ducati Lenovo Team) has a mountain to climb after he crashed out while chasing Quartararo on Lap 4. From that point on, Quartararo asserted himself in a dominant display to win by almost five seconds after 30 laps, with Johann Zarco (No. 5 Prima Pramac Racing) finishing a lonely second. There was some solace for Ducati in the form of Jack Miller (No. 43 Ducati Lenovo Team), who fought back from a Long Lap penalty to earn the final place on the podium, while Luca Marini (No. 10 Mooney VR46 Racing Team) grabbed fifth on another Desmosedici.
