MONTREAL — In a stunning display of skill and determination, Max Verstappen, the leader of the Formula One championship, secured the pole position in qualifying at the Canadian Grand Prix. Despite challenging weather conditions, Verstappen drove his Red Bull to a lap time of 1 minute 25.858 seconds, placing him first on the starting grid for Sunday’s race. This marks Verstappen’s fifth pole position of the season as he aims for his fourth consecutive victory and sixth overall this year. Nico Hulkenberg surprised with a second-place finish, earning Haas a spot on the front row for the first time. Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin took third place. Seven-time Canadian Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton qualified in fourth position, maintaining his impressive track record in Montreal.
Lance Stroll, a Montreal-born driver representing Aston Martin, achieved his best qualifying performance at his home circuit, advancing past the first round but ultimately falling out in Q2. Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, both prominent figures in the standings, also failed to progress beyond the second round of qualifying. The unpredictable weather conditions added an extra challenge to the session, with rain returning and intensifying in the final 30 minutes. The race on Sunday is expected to have a mix of sun and clouds, following two days of showers. This year’s Canadian Grand Prix marks the 45th anniversary of Gilles Villeneuve’s historic victory in Montreal in 1978, and it remains the last time a Canadian has won the race.
