Canadian F1 Grand Prix 2022: Start time, TV, grid, live stream

Max Verstappen arrives in Canada with a 21-point championship lead over team-mate Sergio Perez but will Montreal this weekend prove a happy hunting ground for Red Bull?

F1 has made its long-awaited return to the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve after the last two scheduled runnings of the race fell victim to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Verstappen dominated qualifying to take pole but has been joined on the front row by Fernando Alonso, who excelled in the wet session. Charles Leclerc is at the back of the grid after a penalty whilst Perez crashed out in Q2.

Will the Dutchman be stopped?

GPFans' F1 CANADIAN GP PREDICTION

After a thrilling wet qualifying, it is hard to see past Max Verstappen taking a comfortable victory - especially with his main rivals out of the picture.

Charles Leclerc will be aiming to charge from the back of the field after taking a grid penalty for a change of Ferrari power unit, whilst team-mate Carlos Sainz could only finish third in Q3.

Sergio Perez's crash leaves Verstappen all alone in terms of the big hitters, though Fernando Alonso may have something to say about the lead of the race into turn one.

Canada tends to throw up classics, this one should be no different!

WINNER: Max Verstappen
