Max Verstappen will start on pole position but the rest of the grid is all over the place for today's Canadian Grand Prix.

Nico Hulkenberg is set to join him on the front row after the Haas just squeezed a lap in before Q3 was red-flagged after Oscar Piastri hit a wall.

Verstappen also saw team-mate and main title rival Sergio Perez eliminated in Q3, alongside Charles Leclerc – so the grid is certainly set up interestingly ahead of the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Lewis Hamilton will start fourth, carrying on his remarkable record of always qualifying in the top five in Canada – can he add another win to his tally today?

That would almost certainly require a Verstappen retirement but Hamilton is poised to continue his progress – although we all know the weather can make anything happen in Montreal.
