Watch live streams of the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix to see if George Russell can close the gap in the drivers’ championship to teammate Kimi Antonelli, who has now won the last three Grands Prix and opened up a healthy 20-point lead at the start of the season.
The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal will host a sprint weekend for the first time. Unlike Miami, which Russell admitted he didn’t like very much, Canada holds plenty of sweet memories for the Briton. He won from pole here last year and also finished on the podium in 2024.
Montreal is a shorter but extremely fast track, full of high-speed chicanes – and considering the amount of overtaking we’ve already seen this season – we can certainly expect plenty of action.
Elsewhere on the grid, Mercedes and McLaren are expected to make improvements in Canada. The Papaya team made a major performance leap in Miami, securing a double podium as well as a double in the sprint. Max Verstappen, fresh from his outing at the Nürburgring, will also be one to watch following Red Bull Racing’s improvements in Miami.
