Formula 1 heads to Montreal this weekend as the Canadian Grand Prix returns to the iconic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with McLaren's dynamic duo, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, looking to keep their stranglehold on the 2025 season.
McLaren have stamped their authority across the grid, winning seven of the first nine races and racking up an imposing 362 points, more than double that of their closest rivals, Ferrari, who sit on 165.
At the heart of the intra-team rivalry is a thrilling battle for supremacy: Piastri currently holds a slender 10-point edge over Norris in the drivers' standings, setting the stage for a potentially tense showdown between teammates.
All eyes, however, will also be on Red Bull's Max Verstappen. The Dutchman arrives in Canada chasing a historic fourth straight win at this circuit but is under mounting pressure, not only to claw his way back into championship contention but also to avoid triggering a race ban, as he teeters on the brink with penalty points on his license.
The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
