It also puts the Red Bull drivers in First and second place in the race For the drivers' title, with Max Verstappen on 150 points, 21 ahead of team-mate Sergio Pérez, who has 129.

For the first time in three years, F1 will visit the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, in Montreal, for Round Nine of the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship, the Canadian Grand Prix.

• The Track

The fast, low-downforce circuit is one of the drivers’ favourites. The track is quite stop-start, with lots of heavy-braking chicanes and the famous hairpin to get the anchors working hard. Out of the corners, though, the track is quick and flowing, while the most iconic piece of the circuit comes right at the end of the lap: the Wall of Champions, so-called after excursions into it from Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher during the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix weekend.

• Initial Grid

  

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will join AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda at the back of the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix grid after the Monegasque took on a raft of new power unit elements.
