Liam Lawson, representing Racing Bulls, narrowly missed a top 10 start at the Canadian Grand Prix, qualifying 12th at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. He finished just 0.04 seconds shy of entering the top 10, a disappointment following a challenging qualifying session where he had limited practice due to a hydraulic leak. Despite this setback, Lawson demonstrated his skill during the sprint race, advancing from 17th to 11th and making more overtakes than any other driver. His teammate, Arvid Lindblad, qualified in the top 10, starting 9th, indicating the effectiveness of the team's recent upgrades. At the front, George Russell of Mercedes claimed pole position, with teammate Kimi Antonelli alongside him in second. The race promises to be competitive, especially with the championship leader Antonelli in the mix, as he aims to maintain his lead. The Canadian Grand Prix is scheduled to start at 8am on Monday morning, with Lawson looking to capitalize on his sprint race momentum.
