On a track like this, there’s big potential for drivers showing what they can do,” said Schumacher, who has yet to score a point. I always loved racing in the wet conditions. He leads teammate Sergio Perez by 21 points, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc a further 13 behind. Double world champion Alonso, the oldest man on the grid, had been fastest in final practice and Sunday will be his first appearance on the front row since 2012 when he was on pole for Ferrari in Germany. Sunday’s race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will be the first in Canada since 2019 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is forecast to take place in sunny and dry conditions. “On pure pace in the dry we’re still a long way off but to get top four in qualifying in those conditions is awesome.”

"So hopefully I can try to hold position at least." "I think we learned quite a lot on the long run, which is positive for tomorrow," Leclerc said. "P3 is still a good position to start and we can get to the top. "Hopefully I am able to recover and get into strong points," Perez said after qualifying. After four successive pole positions before this weekend failed to yield any victories, he will hope starting from the other end of the grid can bring him some much-needed fortune.

To be on the front row together with Fernando; I used to look at F1 as a little kid, seeing Fernando being up there and winning his races and championships and putting it on pole. All ten F1 teams are limited to an annual budget of $140m to run their 2022 season, comprising costs spent in every area including car parts, staff salaries, and shipping. Max Verstappen looks to emphasise his dominance from pole position at today’s Canadian Grand Prix with the testing conditions throwing another interesting wrinkle as he targets a second world championship. And then after that, they can go and they can fight - but it will be nice, sweet to lead the race.” While Verstappen added: “Fernando is getting a little bit old, but he’s still very fast,” Verstappen said. I think it’s a case of force majeure.

RED BULL supremo Christian Horner took the time out of his day for an admirer who was seemingly at the Canadian Grand Prix for one reason only.

Horner may well have revved into the lead in more ways than one, however, as his success has transcended the track. Wife Geri Horner (formerly Halliwell, otherwise known as 'Ginger Spice') may not look so happily on her husband cosying up to 'horny' fans, however. Neither Verstappen nor Perez managed to complete this year's curtain-raiser in Bahrain, which forced Red Bull into some early changes.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

MONTREAL -- Max Verstappen held off a spirited late challenge from Carlos Sainz to win the Canadian Grand Prix and extend his championship lead to 46 points.

Several laps later, Schumacher's car slowed and he retired the car, ruining what had looked like a great chance for his first Formula One point. McLaren also provided a bizarre moment late on, when Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris were called into the pits during a Virtual Safety Car moment. His reward for the long stint was a well timed Safety Car.

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.

Max Verstappen cruises to his sixth Formula One win of the season by holding off Carlos Sainz Jr. in a fairly easy drive in the Canadian Grand Prix.

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. Estaban Ocon of Alpine finished sixth and teammate Alonso, who said he’d be pleased with a fifth-place finish, was seventh. Canadian driver Lance Stroll of Aston Martin was 10th. “The car was a little bit better today. Let’s keep pushing.”

Bottas was followed by rookie teammate Zhou Guanyu, who was moved to eighth after the Alonso penalty and finished in the points for the second time this season.

It was Verstappen's first win 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. Magnussen damaged his front wing on the opening lap and finished 17th. “It's still a very long way to go and I know the gap of course is quite big, but I also know that can switch around very quickly,” Verstappen said of his points lead. But there was no challenge and by the time Sainz cleared Alonso for second on Lap 2, Verstappen had already built a lead of 2.4 seconds. 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.” “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.” The bouncing has caused back pain and headaches for its drivers.

Lewis Hamilton says his podium finish in Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix was 'overwhelming' after recent struggles with Mercedes.

"They're a little bit too quick for us at the moment," he said about the cars ahead. So thank you to everyone that's here and back at the factory." "It's been such a battle this year with the car and as a team.

“It was honestly one of the best feelings of the year to be back, especially in Montreal where I got my first win 15 years ago,” he added. It’s given me and the team a lot of hope that there’s more to come from this car, the potential is there. He then went one better in the race, finishing third behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz – with a level of pace that reassured him there’s more performance to be unlocked from the W13.

Rival 'faster than Max', signs of Mercedes revival show F1 title race still alive: Canada Talking Pts.

It’s consistent enough to keep the team within 40 points of Ferrari for second in the standings. Perhaps more importantly for the Briton, it arrests the string of seven defeats to teammate George Russell, a record-equalling run of successes among the seven-time champion’s teammates. He had the pace to beat both in the final stint for an extra five points. And while it’s also Russell’s home race, Silverstone’s modern success is based almost entirely on Hamilton’s achievements. An attempt to pit both drivers during the Mick Schumacher-triggered virtual safety car backfired badly. Alpine has been excelling at the last two low-downforce circuit, particularly in Fernando Alonso’s hands. So I will take the positives and keep trying in the next one.” “It‘s quite overwhelming, honestly, to get this third place,” Hamilton said. It’s not so much as a home race as it is his race. A pit stop fumble then dropped him behind a gaggle of midfield drivers stuck in their own DRS train. What turned out to be worse was that Verstappen chose to pit when teammate Sergio Perez’s car ground to a halt after just seven laps. “We tried everything and we were very, very close to winning today.

We have to acknowledge our competitors did a better job and therefore we didn't deserve points today.

"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."

What will the 2022 British Grand Prix serve up, as the drivers get set to tackle the fast, flowing track in Formula 1’s new breed of machines. F1 is back in two weeks’ time, as we head to British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the venue that hosted the very first Grand Prix 72 years ago. After starting fifth, Magnussen had been unable to recover from that early pit stop that ruined Haas’s chance of taking points – the team having now not done so since Imola. So, yeah, the last few laps were a lot of fun!” Fernando Alonso told the media after his fantastic P2 in qualifying yesterday that he wanted to lead the opening lap of the race. Sainz had scented blood, though, and lap after lap he parried against his former Toro Rosso team mate. Green-flag racing got under way again on Lap 55, Verstappen having weaved all the way down the back straight right up until Turn 13 before bolting away. Tsunoda was called into the pits on Lap 47. Verstappen, his lead having been trimmed to around 6s over Sainz, was sounding edgy about his rubber. Behind, an exciting battle was brewing between Stroll, Zhou, Tsunoda and the recovering Ricciardo scrapping over P9. Tyre degradation was now the buzzword. A perfect day for racing, in short.

How long do you think it will be until Red Bull catch them? Red Bull now sit 5th, 32 wins behind Williams in 4th. Of course, there was a little dip between those years with the rise of Mercedes but there’s no denying that Red Bull deserve their place among some of the great teams in the history of the sport, and their latest win in Canada moved them ahead of the iconic Lotus name, with Williams now next in their sights:

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.

The drivers and teams report back on all the action from at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, for the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix 2022...

Magnussen damaged his front wing running side-by-side with Hamilton on the opening lap, and was shown a black and orange flag and ordered back to the pits for a new nose. The pace was good today, and we’d made a strong recovery up until that point, even if it was hard to overtake, so I’m disappointed with that ending.” “It was always going to be difficult to hang on to what we earned yesterday, and we didn’t have the pace to hold off the quicker cars that started behind us. We were struggling a lot with grip, sliding around a lot in these conditions, and we just didn’t have the pace to fight in the top 10. 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. It shows the spirit of this team, we didn’t let our heads drop and we came back fighting here in Canada. I can’t fault either of the drivers for their races, they were solid and didn’t do mistakes: Valtteri was able to make the most of the timing of the Safety Car and Zhou delivered a very mature performance to get back in the points. It’s always good to get double points, particularly after a couple of difficult races, but the most important thing was to see that we could fight the cars around us and that we are back at the level we had at the start of the season. At the end, I was on very old rubber and I tried to hang on, but it did not work out. There is still a lot to discuss and learn with regards to how the weekend unfolded, but the important thing is to keep this momentum going and keep delivering good performances in the next races.” “That was a solid race and an intense battle with Max (Verstappen) to the line. It was really exciting at the end; the last two laps were a lot of fun, I was flat-out racing and I was giving it everything I had.

On paper, Charles Leclerc did a fine rescue job on his Canadian Grand Prix weekend, bringing his Ferrari F1-75 from 19th on the grid up to P5.

“I don’t have the full picture of the race today, but they looked strong,” he said. I think it’s been close during the whole season and it would have been close today. Then in the middle part of the race, I found myself stuck behind Esteban, who had much newer tyres, so out of Turn 10, when the tyres are actually making the difference, he had very good traction and that was enough for him to keep me behind all the time.”

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.

We know that in order to defend he should have been very fast on track, at least a 17.4, 17.3 on a single lap because Max was very fast behind. When asked how the race would have played out without the late neutralisation, Binotto said: "It's difficult to judge.

I maintain that 2019 was the best year for Formula 1 liveries in recent history. Take a look for yourself.

But I think 2019 was a particularly stellar year for F1 liveries. But while watching 2022's F1 machines blast around the circuit, I couldn’t help but think there was something missing. On top of all that, the 2022 season has seen new circuits and familiar favorites appear on the calendar.

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.
