The 2025 Formula 1 Canada Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday, June 15, at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montréal, promises to be a significant event in the championship. With McLaren’s Oscar Piastri leading the standings and teammate Lando Norris close behind, the race is set to be a thrilling one, with the question again being whether or not anyone can beat the McLaren drivers.
2025 Canada Grand Prix Preview
The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a 4.361 km track known for its combination of long straights and tight corners, including the infamous “Wall of Champions.” The race will cover 70 laps, totaling 305.27 km. Historically, qualifying performance is crucial here, with many winners starting from the front row.
McLaren’s recent performance has been impressive all year, with Piastri securing five wins this season and leading the championship with 186 points. Norris is just 10 points behind, making the intra-team rivalry a focal point. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, currently third in the standings, will be looking to regain ground after a penalty-affected finish in Spain.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Mercedes’ George Russell have also shown competitive pace, with Leclerc’s traction advantage potentially beneficial on a track like this one. But it is expected that the two McLaren stars will once again be dueling it out for first place.
