The 2026 Canadian Grand Prix (May 22-24) sees the drivers and teams doing their best to try and stop the Mercedes march, with Kimi Antonelli and George Russell looking to seal the constructor’s fifth victory of the season.

If the mood in the Mercedes camp wasn’t jubilant enough, they now head to a circuit at which they enjoyed great success this time last year. That day ended with Russell and Antonelli both on the podium, separated by then-champion Max Verstappen. A similar result in 2026 would see the team reassert its dominance on a truncated season where Mercedes has so far won every race.
Only two other men on the track (Verstappen and seven-time winner Lewis Hamilton) have tasted victory at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve — a stat that the likes of Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc and reigning F1 champion Lando Norris will all want to revise. And, thanks to the fact that there’s a Sprint Race on Saturday, there’s plenty of opportunities this weekend for them all to make an impact on the standings.
