F1 LIVE | An incredible Russell just edges out Verstappen and Piastri to claim pole in Canada!

Mercedes look like an absolute contender this weekend, with George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli performing very well during FP2.

For Ferrari it's a two-face coin. Whereas Charles Leclerc proved to be quick until the crash that sidelined him from FP2, Lewis Hamilton proved to be somewhat off the pace at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Max Verstappen had a mixed day with a very strong FP1 session, but then failing to nail the setup for FP2. The Dutchman however is confident that if they revert to what they were doing in FP1, they should be alright.

For McLaren it was 'the trickiest session of the year' as Lando Norris put it in front of the F1TV cameras. This was further proved by Oscar Piastri's P6 in the same session.

However, the Briton could manage to bounce back in FP3, leading topping that session. He finished close ahead of Leclerc and Russell. In the same session, Piastri hit the Wall of Champions as well
