Surprise Twist: Predict the Podium Finishers of the Canadian Grand Prix
George Russell secured an epic pole position in Canada – the second of his career – despite posting the exact same time as Max Verstappen, who will line up alongside the Mercedes man on the front row for the Canadian Grand Prix.
Qualifying in Montreal proved to be an ultra-close affair, with Lando Norris in P3 just 0.021s adrift, while his teammate Oscar Piastri lines up in fourth. RB's Daniel Ricciardo also managed to secure an impressive fifth for himself while the likes of the two Ferraris – surprisingly knocked out in Q2 – will be looking to make up ground.
The Contenders for the Podium
The battle for the top positions this weekend is set to be intense. George Russell, fresh off clinching pole, is a strong contender for a podium finish. Max Verstappen, who has been in sterling form, will be itching to convert his front-row start into a win. Lando Norris, narrowly behind in P3, has shown tremendous pace and will be looking to capitalize on any slip-ups from the front runners.
Oscar Piastri, starting in fourth, provides an intriguing wildcard. The rookie has been impressively consistent and could spring a surprise. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo in fifth could leverage his vast experience to ascend the ranks. The Ferraris, despite a disappointing qualifying, shouldn't be underestimated as they have both the car and the driver skills to stage a comeback.
Drama in the Midfield
While the spotlight often shines on the top contenders, the midfield battle in Montreal is equally captivating. Sergio Perez's early qualifying exit opens opportunities for others to shine, making the race even more unpredictable. Teams like Aston Martin and Alpine will be looking to snatch any possibility of advancing into the points, making every overtaking maneuver critical.
