A fortnight has passed since the second triple-header of the 2025 F1 season, as Formula 1 returns this weekend to the popular Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada.
The race is always a highlight on the calendar, with the 4.361km circuit offering drivers a fast, low-downforce challenge that is often ranked among their favourite tracks.
Oscar Piastri will be hoping to join Sir Jack Brabham, Alan Jones and Daniel Ricciardo on the list of Australian winners in Canada, with the Melbourne driver arriving in Montreal off the back of his Spanish Grand Prix victory last time out in Barcelona.
Piastri leads his McLaren teammate Lando Norris by ten points in the Drivers’ Championship, with Max Verstappen a further 39 points behind in third.
Verstappen arrives in Montreal at risk of a race ban following his clash with George Russell in Barcelona, with the reigning World Champion now just one penalty point away from an automatic suspension.
However, the Dutchman heads into this weekend as the in-form driver at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, having won the last three editions of the Canadian Grand Prix.
