Live: F1 Canadian GP commentary and updates – Qualifying
Minute by minute updates from the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix Saturday qualifying session.
F1 returns to the famous Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal this weekend for the first time since 2019, following two years of COVID-19 enforced cancellations.
Max Verstappen emerged victorious at last weekend's Azerbaijan GP as the Dutchman headed a Red Bull 1-2, as mechanical frailties struck Ferrari and title contender Charles Leclerc.
Verstappen, who topped both practice sessions on Friday, heads to Canada with a 21-point championship lead over team-mate Sergio Perez, while Leclerc is third having slipped 34 points adrift.
Fernando Alonso led FP3 on Saturday, topping a wet session from Pierre Gasly and Sebastian Vettel.
Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton won the most recent Canadian Grand Prix in 2019.

Alonso on his front row qualifying performance: “It feels great, it has been an unreliable weekend so far. Thanks to the wet conditions today the car was mega, I was so comfortable with driving this car. The fans also pushed me on,” which gets a big shout from the crowd. “I will attack Max into the first corner,” that gets an even bigger cheer!
