Oh Canada, its incredibly the 10th round already. you know looking the championship its alot closer that it probably should be because Piastri has won 5 races compared to Norris & Verstappen's 2. & yet he only has a 10 point lead coming into this weekend's race Whether that says more about Oscar's inconsistency, & lando being better than we give him credit for, it's clear that this title fight isn't going to be ran away with just yet.
Canada has given us classics, chaos, and controversy in equal measure. in my opinion the greatest F1 race of all time the 2011 canadian GP. Vettel furious at 5 second penalty in 2019 & the rain last year. its a favourite of mine not quite a street circuit, but not a traditional track either, its fast, tight & unforgiving. this weekend its looking to be pretty dry all weekend
now onto the 2 big talking point of the week. Max verstappen has to keep his nose clean for not 1 but 2 races as if he get just the 1 penalty point, which can be for anything minor. he is banned become 3rd driver to reach 12 points, wasnt it Grosjean & Magnussen? im expecting him to miss austria or britain, as just cant see him keep it clean for 2 races its not in his nature. especially as Red Bull ring is the scene of most of his crimes the last few years as im sure he had a collision 3 times in austria since 2019
now for mystery of Lance stroll. im starting to believe that both things can be true at the same time. lance did worsen an already existing injury in the heat of the moment & Lawrence Stroll wasn’t happy with the behaviour post Q2, so they used the injury as both a recovery & cooling-off period
In the UK some nice prime time fathers day viewing, at 7pm. following the le mans 24 hours in the afternoon

to Kimi Antonelli for pulling off a great move at the start and for keeping it all together.
