Russell Takes Pole at Canadian Grand Prix

George Russell claimed pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix after a close qualifying session, edging out Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri, who will start second and third respectively. This marks Russell's second consecutive pole in Montreal and follows recent on-track tension with Verstappen. Lando Norris, who led the final practice, will start seventh after a less successful qualifying run, while his teammate Piastri starts third. Practice sessions saw unpredictable performance, with notable incidents such as Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg hitting the Wall of Champions, and Lance Stroll crashing out early in FP2. Yuki Tsunoda received a 10-place grid penalty for a red flag infringement. Several drivers, including Isack Hadjar and Alex Albon, made the top 10 despite various disruptions throughout the weekend.
