Canadian Grand Prix

The landscape of the series has certainly changed since Lewis Hamilton won the last Canadian Grand Prix in 2019. With some solid runs over the past few races, Perez has moved ahead of championship hopeful Charles Leclerc of Ferrari into second place in the championship. The Red Bull driver had a dominating performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last Sunday, beating teammate Sergio Perez by over 20 seconds, picking up his fifth win of the season.

Due to the rained out qualifying session for the Canadian Grand Prix, the Formula One teams have a lot of tires left over for the race.

Starting from the medium tire is preferred, but the difference with starting from the soft tire is minimal according to the Italian tire supplier. Due to the dry conditions, Pirelli expects a race with one pit stop to be the fastest option. This requires careful thought during practice to ensure that the right sets of tires are left for the race.

From race schedules to streaming options, here are all your 2022 F1 racing questions answered.

Sling TV's $35 Orange plan might be a good choice for F1 fans who are primarily looking to just watch the races on Sundays. This plan is one of the cheapest ways to get access to ESPN and ESPN 2. Users will still be able to view all F1 onboard cameras, along with full replays of F1, F2, F3 and Porsche Supercup. It also includes the historic race archive. Hulu Plus Live TV is a little more expensive than YouTube TV, but it also offers all the channels you need to watch every second of race weekend. Teams need both strategy and skill to compete against some of the best minds in motorsports. Sling TV lacks ABC, which could be a problem for fans hoping to catch the F1 races in North America. The length of the races also varies, with some, like the Indianapolis 500, lasting 500 laps and taking over three hours to complete. Teams can field more than two cars, meaning that the amount of drivers on the grid fluctuates from race to race. Each driver needs to use two different tires in the race, so a pit stop is mandatory, though cars are not allowed to refuel. In contrast, the cars featured in IndyCar are more standardized. The entire race weekend, including practice sessions and qualifying, will be shown in the US on ESPN's family of television networks. We've broken down everything you need to know in order to stream F1 races this season. F1 racing returns to North America this week for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. During yesterday's qualifying races, Max Verstappen secured his dominance by finishing over half a second faster than his competitors.

The Canadian GP returns to the calendar for the first time in three years. Join Alex Hess.

Alongside Verstappen in the front row will be Fernando Alonso, 40 years young, who rolled back the years in qualifying, jinxing around a wet track and power-sliding his Alpine out of the last corner to cap a majestic lap. A frankly ludicrous 80-point swing over the last five races has taken Verstappen to the top of the leaderboard, where he is joined by teammate Sergio Perez. And at the start line in Montreal, Leclerc will be watching Verstappen through a sea of traffic having been consigned to the back of the grid and penalised for using too many power-unit components. “So it seems that we had the right confidence in the car, and a good set-up. Here we are, best position for the start, and the target is still to get into the points with both cars today. But two months is a long time in Formula One, as the saying doesn’t go, and poor Leclerc goes into today’s Canadian GP having to treat it as a damage-limitation exercise for his title hopes. And the Spaniard has made no secret of disguising his plans for today. The rain has gone, so have the clouds and the cooler temperatures. “I let them down today unfortunately.” With he and Leclerc starting down the field, and Mercedes still yet to overcome their aerodynamical headaches, could Alonso steal a rare podium finish? “It was not a normal qualifying or not a normal day,” he said. Hopefully he’s sensible we’ve just got to get stuck in, and for Checo likewise.” Lap 1/70: And we’re away! Schumacher is having a tough old time of it, now passed by Russell.

Meanwhile, today's race will provide Lewis Hamilton with a golden opportunity to claim his second podium finish of the year if he is able to keep it together over the course of the 70-lap contest. "I'll attack Max on the first corner," he said with a wink. "Of course Fernando is getting a little bit old, but he is still very fast. Verstappen currently leads Sergio Perez by a margin of 21 points and will be hoping to pull clear of his Red Bull team-mate, who crashed out in Q2 to qualify in 13th place, by claiming yet another victory in Montreal this afternoon. Lewis Hamilton is also likely to be in the mix for a podium finish after putting his Mercedes car in fourth place, just behind the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz in third. Max Verstappen will line up on pole position at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and will be looking to maintain his impressive form with yet another victory when the chequered flag drops at the end of the race. Fernando Alonso was undoubtedly the driver of the day, though, after earning a surprise front-row start for Alpine with a hugely impressive lap tin the wet to pip the likes of Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton. The latter will line up in fourth place on the grid ahead of Kevin Magnussen, Mick Schumacher and Esteban Ocon, although George Russell will start all the way down in eighth after gambling with dry tyres but to no avail. The Alpine man is struggling to keep up with the pace of the leaders and is now being chased down by Lewis Hamilton, who remains in fourth. Sergio Perez suffers a mechanical problem and the Mexican driver is forced to park up on the side of the track. The 37-year-old is set to start in fourth place after finding some much-needed pace towards the end of Q3, with George Russell down in eighth after a failed gamble on slicks during the latter stages of qualifying. Max Verstappen will be looking to extend his advantage at the top of the Drivers' Championship standings by taking the chequered flag at today's Canadian Grand Prix. The Dutchman will start on pole after setting the quickest lap in yesterday's rain-soaked qualifying session, with Fernando Alonso taking second place for Alpine thanks to a stunning effort in Q3.

Rain and unseasonably cold temperatures greeted the drivers of the Ferrari Challenge championship as it rolled into the second half of its 2022 season.

Nevertheless, McCarthy kept his composure and took control of the restart to win in Montreal, followed by Matt Kurzejewski (Ferrari of Westlake) and Jeremy Clarke (Ferrari of Beverly Hills) making up the rest of the Trofeo Pirelli podium. He led home relative series newcomer Grey Fauvre (Ferrari of San Francisco) and Brian Kaminskey (Ferrari of Long Island). Kaminskey’s podium was particularly important as he brought in needed points to maintain his championship aspirations going into the second half of the season. Michael Petramalo (Ferrari of Seattle) demonstrated the most important skill in Montreal; survival.

Max Verstappen enjoyed a perfect getaway from pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix, quickly establishing a healthy lead over Fernando Alonso.

MAX VERSTAPPEN stormed to victory to win the Canada Grand Prix for the FIRST time.While Lewis Hamilton picked up a podium place by finishing third in.

Ocon is 5th with his Alpine teammate Alonso a couple of seconds behind in 6th. Could he try and go to the end without pitting again? Safety car in at the end of this lap! The restart could be very interesting to watch. There's only around four seconds covering the top 4, with Verstappen not yet able to pull away. I was giving it everything I had and so was Carlos. The last few laps were very fun. I'm happy for Lewis as he had bad luck on his side and would have been on the podium if not for the safety car a couple of times. This race also marks the first time Hamilton has finished above his teammate Russell since the opening race. "Within the team, [Hamilton] was always positive in the mindset. He reacted: "I can tell I didn't leave anything on the table today. "Then we had a slow pit stop and fell behind another DRS train, but the end was quite fun. Then in the middle part of the race I found myself stuck behind Esteban [Ocon] on much newer tyres so he had very good traction and that was enough to keep me behind.

Russell was a gainer under the second VSC and was homing in on Hamilton before the leading Mercedes pitted after Verstappen blasted by, after which Russell was also given a second stop and so ran behind his teammate to the finish, with neither coming in under the safety car. Sainz locking up at the hairpin on the final lap meant Verstappen was able to scamper to a final winning margin of 0.9s, with Hamilton completing the podium having been quickly dropped by the leaders after the safety car restart. Lap after lap the Ferrari used its DRS to close in on the long final and pit straights, but Verstappen was able to stay ahead thanks to his excellent traction out of the hairpin and final chicane. Ferrari called Sainz in and he was able to take fresh hards and re-joined just behind Verstappen, which set up a 14-lap chase to the finish once the race resumed at the start of lap 56 after the AlphaTauri had been craned away. Like in the very early stages, Sainz used DRS to blast by Alonso on the run to the final corners on lap 22, which left him with a 9.4s deficit to Verstappen, while Hamilton soon followed the Ferrari past Alonso to run a distant third behind the leaders. As Verstappen consolidated his lead, which was 1.0s at the end of lap 1 of 70, Sainz took until the end of lap three to pass Alonso – using DRS to get by on the approach to the final corners.

Max Verstappen won a pulsating Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on Sunday, after a tense duel to the finish line with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.

Sainz led by 10s with 25 laps to go. Haas then lost its second car from the points when Mick Schumacher pulled off at Lap 19 in the same spot as Perez, causing another VSC that Russell pitted under. On fresh hards, Hamilton passed Ocon for fifth. Hamilton also stopped, giving up spots to Russell and Esteban Ocon (Alpine) as he rejoined in sixth. He pitted from sixth at the end of Lap 8 for a new front wing. 1

The Red Bull driver has moved 46 points clear in the drivers championship as Carlos Sainz came close second and Hamilton rounded off the podium.

He took his second stop on lap 44 and Sainz now led with Ferrari looking to pull off a one-stop, with a nine-second lead to Verstappen. It left a sprint to the finish between the two on similar rubber. Pit stops ensued after an early virtual safety car when Sergio Pérez pulled off track after a gearbox problem on lap nine, with Verstappen and Hamilton stopping but Ferrari leaving Sainz out to inherit the lead. Yet it was Verstappen who had shown the field how hard it will be to catch him this season. The seven-time champion’s broad smile and pleasure in having a decent ride beneath him was palpable, clearly reinvigorated by genuinely feeling he was part of the fight. Max Verstappen had long promised that given the tools he was more than capable of delivering a world championship.

Magnussen damaged his front wing on the opening lap racing Hamilton for position and had to make an early stop for repairs; he finished 17th. It was Verstappen's best finish in Montreal, which F1 said hosted a record 338,000 spectators over the three-day weekend as the series returned to Canada after a two-year pause during the pandemic. "It's good, I'm back to being young," said the 37-year-old. "The (wind) tunnel has told us that the lower the car, the faster you go, the more ground effect it will have," Wolff said. "The potential is truly there if we can get the setup right and I think that's been the most difficult thing this year." For the first time this season I can say I was fastest man on track, which gives me confidence and some hope for the next races."

Sainz’s Ferrari had nothing left to give as he could consistently stay within a second of Verstappen but could never get closer enough to attempt an overtake for the lead. Max Verstappen comfortably won the Canadian Grand Prix ahead of Carlos Sainz. Mercedes-AMG Petronas secured both third and fourth after Alonso slumped through the field. Scuderia Ferrari gambled on a safety car coming out during the latter stages of the race to give Carlos Sainz a chance at winning the Grand Prix. The gamble paid off. Verstappen held the lead until he made his second stop on lap 43. Verstappen got more than a car length clear of the Spaniard at the clear. To take advantage of the virtual safety car deployment, Red Bull pitted Verstappen on lap 9 of 70.

We have to acknowledge our competitors did a better job and therefore we didn't deserve points today. My thanks to our team here at the track, back in the factory and our colleagues at HPP for their efforts over the whole of this long-haul double-header. "We were unlucky today in many places, and also just didn’t have the pace to race and overtake the people we wanted to race against. We simply didn’t have the pace, and then had to manage a few other things as well. So, otherwise, we’ve got to have a look, see where we can go better, and then just clean a few things up." There were mistakes from my side, mistakes from the team’s behalf and we’ll just need to step back, refresh, go again and do a much better job in the next one."

Team by team analysis of Sunday's Canadian Formula One Grand Prix at Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, ninth race of the 22 round season.

Magnussen's race was compromised by the collision with Hamilton and having to pit for a new front wing. Gasly pitted on lap five but his car was lacking grip and sliding around. Ocon started seventh and helped Alonso stay ahead of Bottas with an aerodynamic tow in the final laps. Alonso started alongside Verstappen, his first front row since 2012 when he was at Ferrari, and finished seventh before a five second penalty for weaving while defending against Bottas demoted the Spaniard to ninth. It was the first time since March he finished ahead of Russell, who started eighth. Sainz led after Verstappen pitted in the first virtual safety car (VSC) period on lap nine.

But while he lost 15 points to title rival Verstappen, seeing the chequered flag after his Baku retirement was important. Alonso was visibly despondent after the race, having failed to convert his best grid slot in a decade into a podium. Around 338,000 people attended over the course of the weekend. Fifth place from 19th on the grid would be a solid recovery for most drivers, but Charles Leclerc was left wanting more. Schumacher was in good shape for points before a power unit issue forced a DNF. That’s now five races without points for Haas. We’ve picked out six winners and five losers from the Canadian Grand Prix…

Max Verstappen has extended his Formula 1 world championship lead with victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, while his main rivals struggled.

To review all the action on and off track in Montreal, host Martyn Lee is joined by Luke Smith, Jess McFadyen and Matt Kew to discuss whether Ferrari had any chance of ending Red Bull’s winning streak and could Sainz have made a one-stop strategy work? The race was punctuated by two virtual safety car periods – one for Perez’s stoppage and another for Mick Schumacher who also failed to finish with a mechanical problem – and a full safety car when Yuki Tsunoda crashed at Turn 2 exiting the pitlane. Charles Leclerc was forced to fight back from a grid penalty due to a Ferrari engine change after his retirement in the Azerbaijan GP and finished fifth in Canada, while Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez crashed in qualifying and then suffered his own mechanical heartache in the race.

As Max Verstappen delivered a Canadian Grand Prix masterclass, Ferrari showed some fight through Carlos Sainz, while the porpoising saga spiced up off the ...

A remarkable stat doing the rounds was that Fernando Alonso’s romp to the second-fastest time in qualifying marked his first front-row start of the hybrid era. That could mean moving the car out of an ideal set-up window - and that could mean sacrificing lap time to ensure compliance with the rules and guaranteeing that drivers are not suffering the ill-effects of porpoising. A lack of mileage in testing and brake duct issues were followed by uninspiring McLaren performances in the first two rounds of the campaign. As per Barcelona, claims that this was a display of pace that on another day would be capable of winning a race appear somewhat wide of the mark. Hamilton was shod in hard tyres that were one-lap younger than those worn by Verstappen for the post-safety car sprint to the flag. It stemmed the loss on a day when Leclerc was hampered by the DRS train and a difficult differential that was costing him dearly out of Turn 10 for the crucial drag into the final chicane. The word is Mercedes has finally “solved” its porpoising issue, but it is still afflicted by another kind of bouncing as the car runs low and stiff to pound into the asphalt. Namely, as Mercedes has struggled to unlock its W13 creation, it has been the 37-year-old who has made do with experimental, pace-sapping set-ups in a bid to learn what makes the car tick. With five minutes of Q2 to play, Carlos Sainz turned in a 1m29.153s to bolt to the top of the times. Those chances were then wiped out by the engine failure for Leclerc. Matters were closer in Montreal. Sainz had the pace on Verstappen for the final hard-tyre sprint to the flag as he turned in fastest laps and had the advantage through the speed traps. And although a win went begging again, he made it a close-run affair with Verstappen, having capitalised on the safety car to pit for hards. Similarly, the Red Bull boss reckons that had a safety car not intervened to instead leave Carlos Sainz running in front on a one-stop strategy, Verstappen again had enough to come from behind and win.
