For Mercedes, George Russell recorded the sixth fastest time following a lap described by the team as "scrappy." Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli was unable to complete a final push lap due to a power unit issue.

Ferrari's Leclerc leads the pack by three-tenths of a second, signaling strong pace in Miami.

Canadian Grand Prix Weekend: Sprint Format in Montreal

The Canadian Grand Prix weekend in Montreal is utilizing a Sprint format. The schedule is as follows:

  • Friday: 60-minute practice session → Sprint Qualifying → Sprint
  • Saturday: Qualifying
  • Sunday: Race

Kimi Antonelli entered the Canadian Grand Prix weekend as a leader in the drivers' championship, holding a 20-point lead over his teammate George Russell. Reports indicate that Mercedes appeared to have a significant advantage over the pack at the end of free practice, with Antonelli leading Russell.

Mercedes looks dominant in Montreal, but McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari remain key factors for the weekend.

The performance of McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari was also noted as a crucial element for the weekend's competition.

Monaco Grand Prix (2026): Continental Opening

The Formula 1 calendar includes the Monaco Grand Prix, which was described as the first continental round after pre-season testing in Barcelona. This weekend marks the first occasion since the Japanese Grand Prix in March where teams have three free practice sessions.

Kimi Antonelli was reported to hold a 43-point lead over Mercedes teammate George Russell in the championship standings.

Antonelli's championship lead has swelled to 43 points, but Ferrari emerges as a potential favorite in Monaco.

Ferrari was identified as a potential favorite, following protests from the team concerning the SF-26's chassis, a small turbocharger advantage, and an exhaust-blown winglet, which reportedly increases downforce.
