After a dominant start to the season, Max Verstappen's reign atop the standings faces a test. A frustrating sixth-place finish in the last race leaves him hungry for redemption, and the fierce competition from Ferrari is only intensifying.
Charles Leclerc, fresh off a sensational win in Monaco, arrives in Montreal with a renewed fire in his belly, with the Scuderia boasting upgrades that suit the high-speed, low-downforce demands of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
However, things did not go as planned, as both Leclerc and his team-mate Carlos Sainz failed to advance beyond Q2, starting the race in 11th and 12th respectively.
Meanwhile, Verstappen and Mercedes' George Russell crossed the line with identical times of 1:12.000, but since Russell was the first driver to achieve that mark, he clinched the second pole position of his career for today's race.
Will Verstappen be able to reclaim his dominance and extend his championship lead, or can the Brit secure his second career victory and pull off a surprise upset?
