F1 Canadian GP: Russell beats Antonelli and Norris to last-gasp Montreal pole

Following their clash in the sprint race, Russell and Antonelli will share the front row again Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix

Norris: "I feel like we did a good job out there today. It's a difficult track to put everything together perfectly. It's clear that these guys are just that little bit quicker. It's nice to be closer than we were yesterday. We're in a good place, and we're in the place where we need to be."

Antonelli: "It's always a bit hard to commit from lap 1, it's been very difficult with tyres and putting them in the right window. There was a bit more on the table, George did a great lap, but now we have our eyes on tomorrow."

Russell: "It was always challenging coming from the sprint race, the car felt very different. We made some changes that we need to review if it was the right direction. We pulled out the lap from nowhere, and it's a great feeling in such a challenging session.

"We made some changes based on the forecast for tomorrow, which may have hurt us a little bit for now. It took the car out of sync a little bit. Kimi was more competitive than I was in that session, but managed to re-dial my driving."

Russell takes pole for the Canadian GP

It looked like we were in for a battle for pole, but Mercedes end up 1-2-ing it after leaving it late. Russell from Antonelli from Norris, once more.

Russell gets a tow off Colapinto, attacks the chicane, and crosses the line...and it's only enough for third at the moment. Verstappen doesn't improve either, and he's only seventh.

What's Antonelli got? It's a purple first sector...

The pack now trickle out of the pits to get their second laps in; plenty of time to refresh and warm up the tyres. Russell's spooling up for his lap now, and indeed gets going.

Russell goes out again, so he's out of sync with the rest. The rest are in the pitlane, awaiting their second runs. 

Russell abandons his lap, while Antonelli is about to do a time - it's only enough for fourth, however. Mercedes isn't dialled in here, and Russell says that he's not really got any rear grip. Suspicions that he got very close - if not touching - the wall.

"What's going on with this straight-line speed," Verstappen asks. He's 0.7s off the pace at the moment.

Two preps for Verstappen and Hadjar then, and it looks like everyone else is following suit. 

Here come the two Mercedes and Colapinto, so that's a full house on track. Now, one warm-up lap or two? That is the question.

Hadjar did well too, surviving an almighty snap out of Turn 8 to get the fastest lap of Q2. Can he do it again in the top 10 shootout?

Leclerc isn't a happy bunny. "I'm completely off the pace, we just need to make sure, give me clean air. I don't care about whatever else, just clean air."

Colapinto, meanwhile, was very pleased to make Q3 once again. He looks like a new man!

Eliminated in Q2

11. Hulkenberg
12. Lawson
13. Bortoleto
14. Gasly
15. Sainz
16. Bearman

Lawson opens his lap - he's not had great luck this weekend, with the hydraulics issue in practice. He's up to 13th, missing the Hulkenberg cut-off by about 0.4s.

Russell locks up at Turn 1, so he can't do much with that lap.

Meanwhile, Gasly's only 15th with his latest lap - so he needs a big effort to break the Q3 bracket.

12. Sainz

14. Bearman
15. Gasly
16. Lawson

"I can't get the front tyres in the window," Verstappen reports, as he struggles with tyre warm-up.

Lawson hasn't done a lap yet, and locked his fronts - so he's doing another prep lap.

Hadjar bags second for now, 0.128s off Antonelli's effort. Lindblad now goes up to seventh.

Norris then gets a little closer to Antonelli, putting in a lap just 0.068s shy of the Italian's 1m13.076s.

Leclerc is finding time on this second lap, which is helpful since he's slipped into the bottom six. It's enough for ninth, which isn't great.

14/16 cars are on-track, as Sainz did an exploratory lap on old tyres before returning to the pits on fresh softs.

Colapinto does a 1m25.981s, which is very much "second prep lap" levels of speed.

Eliminated in Q1

17. Ocon
18. Albon
19. Alonso
20. Perez
21. Stroll
22. Bottas

Bortoleto moves up to 16th again and puts Ocon into the bottom six. Albon isn't improving, so that's his lot for this session.

Bottas had a lock-up at Turn 1, so he never really got a final lap in, while Stroll went off at Turn 3 and just about saved his car from the wall.

Leclerc moves up to fourth, as Piastri gets a tow from a Williams and moves up to third. 

Bearman's missing a chunk of his bargeboard, with one of the elements waggling around.

Perez goes up to 18th, as Bortoleto moves up to 16th - just on the right side of the cut-off.

Norris moves up to second, 0.151s off Antonelli - also still on used tyres.

Gasly's about to get a lap in, and it's up to 10th.

Perez is getting looked at for ignoring race directors' instructions, so he clearly didn't follow the exit road at the chicane. 

Hamilton moves up to fifth; they've stuck to used tyres here, and trying to buy some extra sets of softs for Q2 and Q3. They've got a few laps in them, it seems.

Leclerc is currently time-less, as his quickest lap was deleted for track limits. He's about to set a banker lap, and gets up to eighth.

Meanwhile, Lindblad's put on some fresh tyres and is going very quickly - and moves up to third with a purple first sector.
