The Dutchman led every lap at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to draw level with Senna and extend his championship lead.
Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso finished runner-up, with Lewis Hamilton third for Mercedes. Hamilton’s team-mate George Russell retired on lap 55 of 70 following an earlier prang with the wall.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished fourth and fifth respectively for Ferrari, with Sergio Perez sixth. Alex Albon crossed the line a commendable seventh in his Williams. Verstappen, who notched up Red Bull’s 100th win in Formula One, now leads Perez by 69 points on his unstoppable march to a hat-trick of titles.

Max Verstappen, who is on pole:
“It was a good day, today is very different. It’s very low grip, there’ll be a lot more rubber on the track which will influence the race.”
Mercedes chief James Alisson
“I don’t know it’ll be particularly electrifying, but it should be a decent race. Probably more with Fernando than with Max.
“It’s all about the fight!”
