Red Bull – Risk Meets Reward
Max Verstappen (137 pts) is chasing a record fourth straight win in Montreal—despite being on 49 penalty points—meaning a clash or mistake could derail his weekend.
Mercedes – Hungrier Than Ever
George Russell has found rare consistency, sitting P4 in the standings. Montreal is a traditional Mercedes-strong piste, and they’ll aim to capitalize.
Ferrari – Redemption Ride?
Charles Leclerc remains a steady P5, but Hamilton and the team feel pressure to bridge the gap to McLaren and Red Bull.
Aston Martin – Home Advantage?
Canadian Lance Stroll hopes to debut healthy in front of his home crowd; performance could uplift the team’s morale.
Sauber → Audi Transition
Sauber celebrates its last season before becoming Audi. Expect them to fight for midfield points, boosted by recent results.
