Qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix takes place today (Saturday, June 14), as round 10 of the 2025 F1 championship gets underway.
So far in 2025, pole position has been vitally important for the fate of the top three drivers in the championship come race day.
F1 HEADLINES: Max Verstappen in heated exchange as F1 star ruled out of Canadian GP session
Whilst McLaren seemed to have the advantage in qualifying over their rivals, Max Verstappen has managed to claim three poles out of nine in 2025 and will be hoping to get himself in among the two McLarens once again in Montreal after the worst Friday of the season for the papaya stars.
The four-time world champion is currently 49 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, and is scrambling to keep his championship chances alive, while also teetering on the edge of a one-race ban from the sport.
Elsewhere, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to turn around his dismal qualifying form with his new Ferrari team. The seven-time champion has only been able to outqualify new team-mate Charles Leclerc twice in nine attempts so far this season.
However, Leclerc was only able to get 15 minutes of practice in on Friday, following a crash in FP1 that also ruled him out of FP2.
