All You Need to Know About the Upcoming Event in Montreal
The Formula 1 season continues as teams prepare for the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. This race weekend is set for 16-18 June 2023.
Max Verstappen recently secured his third consecutive victory in Spain, extending his lead in the championship to 53 points over Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez. Mercedes showed signs of improvement, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finishing second and third, respectively. In contrast, Fernando Alonso encountered disappointment, finishing seventh, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was outside the points in 11th.
Last year, Verstappen triumphed in Montreal, fending off a challenge from Carlos Sainz, who finished second. Despite concerns about air quality due to nearby wildfires, F1 has confirmed that this year’s race will proceed as scheduled.
