Canada is a track with a rich history and this weekend it’ll be in the spotlight as the Canadian Grand Prix takes center stage. Although not an F1 staple, this venue has always had its moments in the F1 circus. Yesterday’s wet qualifying session threw up some surprising results and we can expect this trend to continue during today’s race.
Max Verstappen is on pole, followed by Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz. Notably, this is Alonso’s first front-row start since the 2012 season. Meanwhile, Ferrari will rely on Sainz to deliver as Leclerc is starting P19 because of a grid penalty following an engine overhaul.

Max Verstappen carried his momentum from Baku as he secured another pole position. He will have to fight Fernando Alonso, whose Alpine has been quick throughout this week. With Sainz starting from third, the run down to turn 1 will be fascinating.
As Lewis Hamilton (P4) holds the record for the most wins at this venue, it will be foolish to write him off even though he has been struggling physically. Meanwhile, Leclerc, who starts from the back of the grid, will look to fight his way to the top.
