The Formula Sprint 1 championship resumed in Montreal after the four-week spring break, with Round 7 delivering two interesting races at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Lahtinen Wins, Lawless Scores First Podium

Jasse Lahtinen converted third on the grid into a well-managed victory in Race 1, passing early leader Lawless and controlling the second half of the race. Lawless maintained strong pace to finish second, earning his first FS1 podium. Lucas Thylin (KKR) came through from eighth to third, ahead of Soltero and De Ciutiis.

Majka gained five places to finish seventh, while Andrzejewski was 11th. There were a high number of retirements; only 19 drivers were classified, with Giuseppe Saracino, Oliver Taras, and several others failing to finish.

De Ciutiis Takes Second Win of the Season
Starting sixth on the reverse grid, De Ciutiis made steady progress through the early laps and took the lead in the final third of the race. Soltero again featured near the front, finishing second to cap off a strong weekend for MS Performance. Scott Flack (OverPower) claimed third, followed by Lahtinen in fourth and Majka in fifth.

Several drivers made significant gains: James Knox (LEF) moved up five places to finish ninth, while Mateusz Ziubinski climbed twelve positions to take 12th. Andrzejewski retired after 16 laps, his second DNF of the year.
