It was a close run race between Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, but despite some severe tyre woes Hamilton prevailed in Monaco. That result broke Mercedes one-two stranglehold, but this week’s race in Canada could see the Silver Arrows dominate once again. Here’s our guide on how to catch his weekend’s Canada GP action at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, including channels and UK times for practice races, qualifying and, of course, the main event.
It looks like we could be on for a scintillating Canada GP.
Q3 saw Sebastian Vettel deliver a brilliant pole position lap in the dying embers of session, beating Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton by 0.2 seconds.
It marks a turnaround for the Italian team after starting the weekend on the back foot and miles away from Mercedes. Vettel’s pole was the first the team had achieved since Bahrain and the first Vettel had managed since the German GP 17 races ago.
Leclerc landed in third, with Daniel Ricciardo storming his way up to fourth with a fantastic lap. That saw him gain the upper hand over Red Bull’s Pierre Gasly with Valtteri Bottas in a very disappointing sixth place. Max Verstappen was caught out by the crash of Haas’ Kevin Magnussen in Q2 and failed to set another lap, ending up in 11th. He’ll need to be on top overtaking form if he wants to keep up his good run of form.
But qualifying was all about Ferrari turning up, setting the table for an intriguing race. Can Vettel hold on and win from pole like he did last year, or will Hamilton and Leclerc have something to say in the matter? Find out when the lights go green at 7.10pm UK time.
