Max Verstappen Leads on Pole as Red Bull Dominates the 2023 F1 Season

Max Verstappen starts from pole position for this evening’s Canadian Grand Prix, continuing Red Bull’s dominance in the 2023 Formula 1 season. The Dutch driver has claimed victory in five of the seven races so far, with his teammate Sergio Perez securing the other two wins. Verstappen is the strong favourite to win again at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, aiming for back-to-back victories in Canada.

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Canadian Grand Prix winner, will start in fourth, just ahead of George Russell. However, Mercedes has yet to challenge Red Bull’s pace at the front. Nico Hulkenberg starts from the front row and will be looking to make an impact. Meanwhile, Perez and Charles Leclerc, who both failed to qualify for Q3 on Saturday, face a tough challenge ahead.

TV Channel: The race will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, with coverage starting at 5:30pm BST on Sky Sports F1 and 7pm BST on Sky Sports Main Event. The race begins at 7pm BST. Free highlights will be available on Channel 4 at 11:30pm BST.
