Formula 1 makes its return to Canada after a two-year absence as the Canadian Grand Prix comes to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal on June 19.

The race comes at a point in the season when the drivers’ standings are hotly contested. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc (second) and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez (third) are chasing Red Bull’s Max Verstappen for the No. 1 spot, with the three being separated by 15 points.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will be chasing Canadian Grand Prix history as he goes for his eighth title. The 37-year-old won the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix to tie Michael Schumacher’s mark of seven victories in Canada.

The Canadian Grand Prix will be a homecoming for Canadians Lance Stroll and Nicholas Latifi who will get to race in their home country for the first time in two years.

Stroll, a native of Montreal, will be racing in his fourth Canadian Grand Prix. His best finish was ninth in 2017 and 2019. Latifi will be participating in his first Canadian Grand Prix in his three-year F1 career. The Toronto native is looking for his first top-10 performance and has not finished higher than 14th this season.
