Alonso will start in 2nd place in Canada and Sainz in 3rd place!
He is 40 years old And that? Next month he will be 41 and don’t care. He was just like 21 years old and had the same feeling of hunger he had when he started in F1 over 20 years ago. Fernando Alonso It was displayed again. The simple fact that Alpine hasn’t signed a contract yet and isn’t tied to a camper van is impressive. Because he knows the future of young talent like Piastri. As good as a kid, and as much as August is a good time to do these things. Fernando exists and he has enough rope for a while. Even if it becomes wrinkled. His hands are the same. He had been away from F1 for over two years before returning to 2021. Repeat the question: So what? He returned exactly to living days like this Saturday. He feels good and he wants to continue for a few more years. And this Saturday he talked about this track in a great second position and this Sunday he went out to give it a try. Gilles Villeneuve (8 pm / DAZNF1).
Fernando wants to be on top the weekend after the weekend, but his car doesn’t allow it. You have to wait for a special day when your hands are key and shine and choose your honorary status. This Saturday he was able to do that.sky of Canada It gave him a great opportunity. Sanity and logic did not participate in the classification. They were replaced by rain, bringing emotions, uncertainty and madness to unpredictable sessions. Verstappen He only imposed his advantage in the end to take the pole.There is a lot of suspense in front of the stunning Alonso (2nd) Sainz (3rd place) The person who lost the pole in the last sector.

What is Alonso aiming for?
Fernando comes second, but please forgive me for saying: He cannot aspire to victory. The rain doesn’t stop to see it. And without water, even greater turmoil would need to occur before Fernando could compete for his current victory in Alpine. In dry conditions, Verstappen and Sainz should fight it for victory, and Max seems to have something else. In F1, it’s not normal for two consecutive days of madness. Alonso doesn’t even dream and believes his fight is between the 5th and the 7th. He just wants to have fun and finish his job and get the most points. But until then, let me rob you of “Bailao”.
Carlos Sainz can think big. He wants to get his first victory. And from the last position, Leclerc has probably entered the qualifying with a more thoughtful setting for the race, so he wants to make a comeback. Emotions are guaranteed.
Thrill from start to finish
Two years ago Canada Did not host an F1 race for COVID-19..There was a lot of desire to Montreal’s “Great Circus”The famous mythical circuit itself “Wall of Champions” As a mythical place that always fills its stand to receive the best categories of motorsports in the world.And the prizes for the fans who gathered after waiting for two years at the circuit Gilles Villeneuve Was fat
In the first quarter, the trucks were very wet because the tires were extremely wet, but the trucks dried faster, so each driver improved session time on each lap. Magnussen, Russell, Verstappen and Sainz changed leads in just a few minutes.And finally, the course is mostly for intermediates, with no time to change gears, so the Dutch are in the best position against Alonso (0 ”058”) and Sainz (0 ”562) in the first quarter. Won. On the water like Guthrie and Vettel, walked, Latifi, along with Kakuda were eliminated in the first change

The key to the second quarter was to take the risk and get on the intermediate or wait. Asphalt was at the limit between good and evil. Max missed a chance. Teammate “Czech” Perez, when Albon also left the course, hit a wall and took a break, stopping the session with a red flag. The watch stopped in 3rd place, with Alonso regaining the lead on his first attempt, ahead of Verstappen and Sainz. The immutability of the Spaniards in delicate and changing climatic conditions was very good. They were always at the top. And even though Max’s it was so hungry that he knew that focusing on putting the race settings to kill Sunday might benefit him more, he put this pole on. I didn’t want to slip. Max wanted Paul, so he won the race. He wanted everything.
By the time the second quarter resumed, the truck was already dry and wet. It’s much faster, but very delicate. Getting out of the dry lane or applying too much brakes can lead to an accident. And again, on each lap the pilot took, bets on the watch increased. The truck improvements have been great every time. But Fernando and Carlos kept up with them, always at their best, advancing all the laps. There are no obstacles during very difficult times. Verstappen, Carlos and Fernando were the most repeated names above. Everyone can aspire to be there. But they were the most constant. Alonso was first placed again with the clock at zero. However, Max set the best time in the second quarter, giving Alonso in second place a 1 ”102 advantage and Russell a 1” 4 advantage in Sainz in fourth place.

I was surprised. Michael Schumacher Since I entered Q3, state For the first time, and riders like Leclerc were excluded (I didn’t want to endanger it because you still start from the bottom), Norris (14th), Perez (accident, 13th) and boots (11th). It was the best option of the season for Alonso and Sainz. There weren’t two men who were usually fighting for poles like Leclerc and Pérez, and there weren’t many important men in the middle zone of Q3. Due to the suspicion of knowing if anyone is in danger of putting soft rubber, and the great danger that there was an accident that changed everything.
After Q3’s first attempt, Verstappen was still in the pace ahead of Sainz (2nd in 0 ”231) and Alonso (3rd in 0” 396). However, the trajectory continued to improve and nothing was decided. Russell then decided to spice things up and add suspense to the problem. Russell was the only one to ride the dry rubber with 3 minutes remaining. The card was already on the table. But few would doubt a bet on George. Max had set a record, and Russell’s decision continued in the corner when he hurt his wings and went down to the grass for the second time. He played it, but it didn’t work, but he has to praise Russell, who was already second in “Quarry” in the rain at the spa with Williams in 2021.
Paul was played by Verstappen, Sainz and Alonso. Alonso has canceled the first spin. Also, Sainz with 40 seconds remaining. Sainz set a record in the first sector and improved Verstappen’s time by a factor of 10. Sainz He lost a tenth in the second sector. They played it with the last power. And in the last corner, the Spaniards skid and put themselves seven tenths behind. Fernando Alonso came from behind. He surpassed Carlos at the age of 40 and finished second with a 0-inch 645.

The cost of complaints in Formula 1 has increased 10 times
The FIA has officially confirmed a significant increase in the cost of filing protests, appeals and requests for review in Formula 1 from the 2026 season. According to the new regulations, the contribution fee will increase from 2,000 Euros to 20,000 Euros and will be included in the teams’ budget limit.
The decision follows a wave of criticism after Red Bull made several protests against Mercedes driver George Russell during the 2025 season. After the Miami and Canadian Grand Prix both cases were dismissed by the stewards but caused delays and chaos in the paddock.
Russell and McLaren management have repeatedly emphasized that the upfront deposit is too low for teams with multimillion-dollar budgets. In their view, this encouraged speculative and tactical protests.
The FIA says the new rules retain the right to appeal in the case of genuine infringements, but significantly increase financial liability for false complaints. This is expected to reduce the number of post-race disputes and make the protest procedure more balanced.

Mercedes driver reacts to Norris’ first championship: I was jealous before
Mercedes driver George Russell said he was sincerely pleased with Lando Norris’ first Formula 1 championship, which he won in Abu Dhabi on the final stage of the season. According to Russell, he may have been jealous of his compatriot’s success at a younger age, but his views have now changed.
Norris became world champion, just two points ahead of Max Verstappen, despite a strong comeback from the Red Bull driver, who was looking to capture his fifth consecutive title.
Russell and Norris have known each other well since the teenage series; In particular, they fought for the Formula 2 championship won by Russell in 2018. Both made their Formula 1 debuts in 2019, but it was Norris who was first to top the championship.
Russell emphasized that he did not feel any jealousy after the McLaren driver’s victory.
“I’m very happy for him. Maybe when I was younger and less mature, I would have been jealous of my rival and compatriot winning the championship.
But as you get older, you realize how difficult it is to maintain a high level in this sport.”
Both Britons have become leaders of their teams over the years; Russell is at Mercedes, Norris is at McLaren. At the same time, while the Brackley team has been in decline in recent seasons, it was McLaren who were able to offer a car that could fight for the championship before Mercedes.
Russell also noted the importance of not missing a rare chance to compete for the championship and praised Norris for withstanding the pressure.
“We never know when our chance will come. I’m sure he didn’t know that opportunity would come this year.”
He showed an incredible performance, especially in the second half of the season. I’m happy for him, he deserves it,” Russell concluded.

Drivers choose the best Formula 1 driver of 2025
Max Verstappen received his fifth consecutive Formula 1 Driver of the Year award despite being one step away from his fifth consecutive championship title in the 2025 season.
All but four riders participated in the anonymous survey, traditionally conducted among peloton pilots. According to the results, the Red Bull driver was ahead of the new world champion Lando Norris.
Drivers compiled their own top 10 using the standard Formula 1 points system. Verstappen secured first place with 25 points in six different votes.
Norris, who won his first championship after a difficult season, came second in the referee voting for the second time in a row.
McLaren secured the drivers’ title by enduring serious pressure from Verstappen and teammate Oscar Piastri in one of the most interesting seasons of recent years.
Third in the rankings was George Russell, up one place from last year. The Mercedes driver had a strong season, claiming two wins and seven podium finishes.
Piastri improved his position by one place and finished fourth, although his championship ambitions diminished in the autumn. At one point in the season the Australian was 34 points ahead of his rivals.
Rounding out the top 5 was Charles Leclerc, who dropped two places despite getting the most out of the Ferrari SF-25. The Monegasque achieved seven podiums and the Scuderia finished the season in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
Carlos Sainz retained sixth place after an impressive recovery for Williams. Despite a difficult start for Grovey, the Spaniard managed to reach the podium twice in the second half of the season.
Fernando Alonso rose two places to seventh with his strong performance behind the wheel of the Aston Martin AMR25.
The eighth place was taken by Alex Albon, who had his best season at Williams. The top ten is rounded out by newcomers Oliver Berman and Isak Hajjar, who are known for their strong debut seasons.
It is noteworthy that Lewis Hamilton was not included in the voting for the first time since the beginning of this rating, which reflects the British pilot’s difficult first season with Ferrari.
Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda also did not participate in the survey.
