Both teams will bring updates to Canada unlike Ferrari and Red Bull. According to Johnny Herbert, the Woking team will place both drivers on the podium and George Russell will complete the top 3.
“The Canadian circuit rewards efficient cars and at the moment in this respect I think McLaren and Mercedes have something extra – said Herbert reached by Jackpot City Casino – I believe the two McLaren drivers and George Russell will be on the podium because even though Antonelli is on a winning streak, I expect the Englishman to beat him to reverse this trend. I also expect Max Verstappen to be in the fight because he always gets the most out of the car and Red Bull has proven competitive on the straights. Maybe he won’t be fully in the race, but he will be strong in qualifying.”
