CANADA

This weekend will be the 54th Canadian Grand Prix, and 44th in Montreal.

Verstappen is chasing his fourth Canadian win in a row, which would be unprecedented.

Lewis Hamilton has won seven times in Montreal (in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019), including the first of his career. He holds the record jointly with Ferrari great Michael Schumacher.

They also share the record for six poles each.

Fernando Alonso (2006) and Verstappen (2022, 2023, 2024) are the other winners.

The circuit on the Ile Notre-Dame has 14 corners and is named after late Ferrari great Gilles Villeneuve. Mosport and Mont Tremblant have also hosted Canadian Grands Prix.

McLaren have won 13 times in Canada, Ferrari 12 (11 in Montreal).

The rain-hit Canadian Grand Prix of 2011 was Formula One's longest race, lasting four hours, four minutes and 39.537 seconds. The safety car was deployed six times, another record.

The circuit is tough on brakes. The wall at the exit to the final corner has been "The Wall of Champions" since 1999 when Damon Hill, Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve crashed there.

Aston Martin's Lance Stroll is the sole Canadian F1 driver. The last Canadian to stand on a home podium was Jacques Villeneuve in 1996.

CHAMPIONSHIP

McLaren's Oscar Piastri leads the drivers' championship by 10 points from teammate Lando Norris. Verstappen is 49 points behind Piastri.

Leaders and champions McLaren are 197 points clear of Ferrari, with Mercedes a further six adrift.

RACE WINS

Piastri has won five of nine races this season, Verstappen and Norris two each.

Seven-times world champion Hamilton has a record 105 career victories from 365 starts. Verstappen has won 65 grands prix and is third on the all-time list after Schumacher on 91.

Piastri has seven career wins to Norris's six and is only the third Australian to win five in a season. The others, Jack Brabham (1960) and Alan Jones (1980), were both champions.

POLE POSITION

Piastri has been on pole four times this season, Verstappen three and Norris twice.

Norris has started on the front row in five of nine.

PODIUM

Both McLaren drivers have finished on the podium eight times in 2025, Piastri eight times in a row.

Charles Leclerc's second place in Monaco was Ferrari's best of the season so far.

POINTS

Only Piastri, Norris and Verstappen have scored in every race this season.

Piastri has scored for 35 races in a row, the third-longest scoring streak.

Two rookies have yet to score -- Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto and Alpine's Franco Colapinto, who replaced Jack Doohan after six races.

MILESTONE

Canada will be Haas's 200th grand prix.

This will be a 100th grand prix for Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda, although only his 97th start. REUTERS
