F1 Canadian GP qualifying - Start time, how to watch & more

Mercedes Red Bull F1 Ferrari A Albon Williams L Sargeant Williams Canadian GP (Event) Channel 4 Sky Sports F1 Canadian GP
On a mixed opening day in Montreal, rain showers hit both practice sessions to produce a shaken-up order, with Aston Martin's Alonso taking the top spot in FP2 ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell.
Lance Stroll completed an encouraging day for Aston Martin in third, with Monaco GP winner Charles Leclerc taking fourth for Ferrari.
But it was a difficult day for Red Bull and Max Verstappen, who completed just four laps in FP2 due to an ERS issue with his power unit that prevented him from running.

Teenagers and younger kids are learning coded predator phrases like ‘MAP’ online, long before their parents have even heard of it
When I checked my 10-year-old daughter’s TikTok messages in early February 2026, I expected to find the usual mix of dance challenges, school jokes and anime clips. Instead, I saw a stranger ask her, “Do you like children?” She responded to the stranger: “I’m not a MAP.”
