Lando Norris launches himself into the front row, overtaking Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. Piastri dropped to fifth and instantly headed to the pit lane to switch his tyres.

Dark storm clouds are hovering over the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve and rain has started to fall. Drivers are yet to race this new era of cars and new rules in wet weather...The Miami Grand Prix a few weeks ago was also pretty wet, however organisers decided to bring the race forward three hours to avoid heavy rainstorms and lightning. Many of the drivers escaped racing in heavy rain in Miami. Today might be a little different. 5.53amWhat is the starting order?By Hannah KennellyGood morning everyone!

During the sprint race, Antonelli put Russell under pressure on lap six, sweeping round the outside, only for the pair to make contact as the Italian was forced across the grass. “That was very naughty. Not fair, he pushed me off,” Antonelli fumed over the radio, adding: “That should be a penalty, I was alongside the mirror.”Wolff intervened to tell Antonelli to “concentrate on the racing please and not the radio moaning”.“If we need to race like this, that’s good to know,” Antonelli muttered on the radio, with Wolff responding: “Kimi, now is not the time to talk about this. We talk about this internally and not on the radio, OK.”5.32amHow have the new F1 rules changed?By We’ve had a bit of a break in between races, so check out our F1 rules refresher below: 5.32amWelcomeBy Hannah KennellyG’day early birds and welcome to our live coverage of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix 2026.I’m Hannah Kennelly and I’ll bring you all the news from the race in Montreal which starts at 6am.
