MONTREAL, Canada, May 23 : George Russell snatched pole position from Formula One championship-leading Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli with a last-gasp lap at the Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday.
(Correct's Lawson's first name in paragraph eight, Ocon detail in paragraph 10)
MONTREAL: Mercedes’ championship leader Kimi Antonelli was fastest in sole practice for the Canadian Grand Prix sprint weekend on Friday as the team made a strong start with their first major upgrade package of the Formula One season. The 19-year-old Italian, chasing a fourth win in a row, lapped the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve with a best time of one minute 13.402 seconds in bright sunshine and cool conditions. Teammate George Russell, last year’s winner in Montreal and seeking to regain momentum after Antonelli’s sizzling start to the season, was second fastest and 0.142 slower. The Briton ended his session with a spin at Turn Two and glanced against the barrier, bringing out yellow flags. Ferrari’s seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton was third fastest, ahead of team mate Charles Leclerc, with Red Bull’s four-times champion Max Verstappen fifth. McLaren’s reigning champion Lando Norris was sixth fastest, with team mate Oscar Piastri seventh. The 60-minute session, the only practice before sprint qualifying later on Friday, was interrupted by three red flags and then extended to make up for lost track time. Racing Bulls’ William Lawson stopped on track after losing power steering nine minutes into the session, causing the first stoppage. Williams’ Alex Albon then crashed at Turn Seven after he was unable to avoid a groundhog, bringing out the second red flag. A final stoppage came five minutes from the end after Esteban Ocon stopped on track. Racing Bulls’ Arvid Lindblad was a surprise eighth fastest, with Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg ninth and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso completing the top 10. Mercedes brought heavily revised aerodynamic components to Montreal, targeting improved downforce and flow

May 17 : Max Verstappen's hopes of winning the Nuerburgring 24 Hours endurance race on his debut were dashed by a late driveshaft failure that put him out of contention on Sunday after leading for several hours.
NÜRBURG: Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen’s chances of victory in his 24-hour racing debut at the famed Nürburgring track have been ended by a mechanical issue with his car. Verstappen had been leading Sunday morning by over half a minute, sharing a Mercedes AMG GT3 car with experienced sportscar racers Lucas Auer, Jules Gounon and Dani Juncadella. Juncadella had just taken over from Verstappen when he had to slow down with a damaged driveshaft and lost the lead before entering the pits, where the car was pulled into the garage. Coming a week before F1 returns at the Canadian Grand Prix, the Nürburgring race was a “bucket list” project for Verstappen. He’s a keen racing fan and has questioned his future in F1 this year because he’s unhappy with the 2026 cars’ reliance on electrical power. Verstappen made an immediate impact in his first stint Saturday evening with a fast, aggressive style typical of his driving in F1, going from 10th to the lead with a series of overtakes.
