Max Verstappen heads to Canada with an extended lead of 21 points over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez following his victory in Baku last weekend. Charles Leclerc has dropped to third in the standings, 31 points behind Verstappen, after retiring from Azerbaijan due to technical issues on his Ferrari.
In the constructors’ championship, Red Bull holds a commanding advantage of 81 points over Ferrari due to their contrasting fortunes in recent races.
Canada has been a happy hunting ground for Lewis Hamilton, with the British driver having won a record-equalling seven races at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve since his F1 debut in 2007, including four in the last five occasions.
However, with Mercedes struggling for competitiveness at the start of F1’s ground-effect era, Red Bull and Ferrari are the favourites going into the first Canadian GP since 2019.
Both Red Bull and Ferrari have won races at Montreal since the introduction of V6 turbo engines, with Daniel Ricciardo scoring a memorable win for the former in 2014 and Sebastian Vettel winning the 2018 edition of the race for Scuderia.
