Max Verstappen seems to be emphasizing his dominance from pole position in the current Canadian Grand Prix with the test conditions throwing another interesting wrinkle as he aims for a second world championship. The Red Bull driver was untouched in the rain as errors and mechanical problems rained down in the parade of his closest challengers. The Gilles Villeneuve track saw Fernando Alonso second in qualifying for Alpine, Carlos Sainz starting third for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton, despite his very public complaints about the condition of the Mercedes W13 car, still close to the top of the stadium, with the seven -World World Champion of the year winning fourth place for the Silver Arrows. Special praise should also come to the Haas team, which locked the third row of the grid thanks to Kevin Magnussen in the fifth and Mick Schumacher in the sixth. Do not expect Alonso to play safely from the start today, which creates an exciting prospect when the lights go out: “The goal is to lead the race to the first round. Turn One, maximum attack. “And after that, they can go and fight – but it will be nice, sweet to lead the fight.” While Verstappen added: “Fernando is getting a little older, but he is still very fast,” Verstappen said. “So I know it starts very well, you know, so I have to be ready. To be in the front row with Fernando. I used to look at F1 as a kid, watching Fernando up there and winning his races and championships and putting it on the pole. “So sharing the first row is a nice thing.” Follow all the latest updates as we build on this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix:

Christian Horner claims that the fight for the F1 title will end in court if the FIA ​​does not meet the cost ceiling

Red Bull team leader Christian Horner has claimed that up to half of Formula 1 teams will violate the sport’s cost ceiling if the FIA ​​does not choose to increase it and warned that the battle for the 2022 championship could to end up in the courts. All ten F1 teams are limited to an annual budget of $ 140 million for the 2022 season, which includes expenses incurred in every area, including auto parts, staff salaries and shipping. The cost ceiling is designed to prevent teams from overspending and causing themselves financial trouble, but Horner says the cost-of-living crisis and rising inflation are an exceptional circumstance that means the ceiling must be increase significantly. “The way you design your car is under your control,” Horner told Sky Sports F1 after training for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. “You are in control of your destiny. We do not control what is happening in the world right now, with rising fuel costs, inflation reaching 11%. This has a direct impact on staff, merchandise, spare parts supply. I think this is a case of force majeure. “It has nothing to do with income, but with this one-off effect of inflation that affects people.” Jack Rathborn June 19, 2022 2:15 p.m. 1655643609

Lewis Hamilton buys retro game console to have racing repairs before Canada Grand Prix

The 37-year-old needed help to get out of his Mercedes after his car bounced up and down at high speed during the 51-lap Grand Prix of Azerbaijan last weekend. Mercedes ran its engines close to the ground in Baku to produce lower vertical power. But the move overshadowed the bounce – also known as the Foca – with the FIA, the sport’s governing body, now deciding to step in and try to make the sport safer.

George Russell says Mercedes “has a lot of work to do” to avoid the painful Canadian Grand Prix

George Russell says Mercedes “still has a lot of work to do” to overtake the leading teams in Formula 1, after having difficulty in the opening training for the Canadian Grand Prix. The Silver Arrows are the fastest team in Formula 1 each season since 2014, but are out of the running of champions Ferrari and Red Bull this season, and Russell finished just seventh fastest at the end of the second round of training in Montreal on Friday night. Mercedes is having a hard time following the transition to the new series of F1 technical regulations, which have undergone their biggest revision in a generation. The return to ground aerodynamics for the first time since the 1980s brought with it the unexpected aerodynamic idiosyncrasy known as puffiness, which is the name given to the phenomenon where cars bounce violently up and down at high speeds on long straight lines.
