There is great anticipation regarding the updates that Mercedes will bring to Canada. Toto Wolff’s team has won all the races held so far except for the Sprint in Florida, which saw the victory of McLaren’s Lando Norris. Andrea Kimi Antonelli has won the last three GPs and precisely on the circuit named after Gilles Villeneuve, a year ago he achieved his first F1 podium.
The weekend in Quebec will also be decisive in defining the first tranche of the ADUO that Ferrari eagerly awaits to be able to intervene on the power unit, the real weak point so far of an SF-26 that from a mechanical and aerodynamic point of view has proven to be an excellent car.
The event will be broadcast live in full on Sky Sport F1 and NOW, on TV8 the Sprint starting Saturday at 18:00 will be aired live, a session that will be preceded by the replay of the Sprint Qualifying scheduled for Friday at 22:30 (live on Sky). On TV8 the Qualifying on Saturday evening at 22:00 will also be broadcast live free-to-air, while the Race on Sunday will be aired delayed at 23:30. On FormulaPassion.it you will find the live text coverage of all sessions. Below are the details of the programming and the characteristics of the Montreal circuit, with F2 also on track.
