Max Verstappen will start on pole at the Canadian GP after a dramatic qualifying session in wet conditions that saw Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc make early exits and Nico Hulkenberg lose second place after a post-session grid penalty.
On the weekend Red Bull can claim their 100th F1 win and Verstappen can match Ayrton Senna’s victory tally of 41, the world championship leader will start from pole position after making the most of being first out on track in Q3 as the rain intensified, setting a best time of 1:25.858.

The Haas driver had managed to complete a lap and better Alonso’s first Q3 effort just before the red flag was thrown out after Oscar Piastri crashed into the barriers. However, Hulkenberg was found to have not slowed down sufficiently when the red flag came out and he was demoted three places to fifth three-and-a-half hours after the session ended.
As rain continued to fall during the seven-minute red flag delay, no driver was able to improve his time in the final minutes of Q3.

“I like driving in the wet. I come from Holland, so we are used to driving in the wet.
“Let’s see, maybe it’s dry tomorrow and then it can be a bit different, but normally we have a good race car.
