Follow along with all the live action from the 2024 F1 Canadian Grand Prix from the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve!
George Russell claimed pole position for the Canadian GP, his first since the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix, and will lead the field from P1. He clocked a 1:12.000 in qualifying, which was the same time as Max Verstappen but secured the position as he set the time first. This marks a rare occurrence, as the last time two drivers set the exact same pole time was in the 1997 European GP. Lando Norris trailed closely in third, with Oscar Piastri in fourth and Lewis Hamilton starting from seventh. Ferrari is banking on wet weather predicted for Montreal to improve their 11th and 12th grid positions for Leclerc and Sainz after a disappointing qualifying session. With unpredictable weather and no clear favorite, the race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve promises to be an exciting battle.
