F1 returns to Montreal for round 10 of the 2025 season and the Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Reigning world champion Max Verstappen caused controversy last time out in Barcelona when he collided into George Russell, and the Dutchman was slammed with a 10-second time penalty alongside three penalty points to his super licence.

As a result, Verstappen is now one penalty point away from a race ban, and if he picks up another penalty point in Canada he will be forced to miss the Austrian GP.

Furthermore, the Red Bull star emerged with only one point due to his penalty in Barcelona, and enters the Canadian GP race weekend 49 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri.

Following a one-two finish in Spain, the Canadian GP could be another dominant weekend for McLaren. But who will come out on top? The current championship leader? Or will Lando Norris be able to fight back?
