The Red Bull driver was untouchable in the rain, as errors and mechanical problems rained down on the parade of his closest rivals.
The Gilles Villeneuve track saw Fernando Alonso secure second in the Alpine qualifiers, Carlos Sainz started third for Ferrari, and Lewis Hamilton, despite many public complaints about the condition of the Mercedes W13, returned to the top with seven – interim world champions. who won fourth for the Silver Arrows. Special praise should also be given to the Haas team, which blocked the third row of the grid thanks to Kevin Magnussen on the fifth and Mick Schumacher on the sixth.
Don’t expect Alonso to play safely from the start today, which makes for a fascinating prospect when the lights go out: “The goal is to lead the race in the first lap. First of all, maximum attack. And then they can go and fight – but it will be nice, sweet to run the race. “While Verstappen added:” Fernando is getting a little old, but he’s still very fast, “said Verstappen. Okay, so I have to be ready. To be in the front row with Fernando; I watched Formula One as a child, seeing Fernando be there and winning his races and championships and putting him on the pole.

Christian Horner claims that the battle for the Formula 1 title will end in court if the FIA does not take action to reduce costs
Red Bull team director Christian Horner said up to half of Formula One teams would break the sports spending ceiling if the FIA governing body did not decide to raise it, and warned that the battle for the 2022 championship could ended up in court.
All ten Formula One teams are limited to an annual budget of $ 140 million for the 2022 season, including spending spent in each area, including auto parts, staff salaries and delivery. The spending cap is designed to prevent teams from overspending and causing financial problems, but Horner says the cost of living crisis and rising inflation are exceptional, which means the ceiling needs to be raised 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 control your own destiny. We are not in control of what is happening in the world right now, with rising fuel prices, inflation rising to 11%. This is a direct impact on staff, goods, delivery of parts. I think these are force majeure circumstances. It’s not about income, it’s about this one-off effect of inflation that affects people. “
