To avoid potential pitfalls at the Canadian Grand Prix, Verstappen needs to maintain a clean race.
Let's dive into the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix, shall we? Max Verstappen's on a roll, having claimed victory in Montreal for the last three years in a row. But trouble brews, as he's skating on thin ice with only a penalty point separating him from a race ban.
The Red Bull driver's last win was beside George Russell, the same fella he got into a tussle with just recent, in qualifying. How Verstappen will react is anybody's guess, but you can bet others are salivating at the chance to take advantage of the situation on a track known for its changeable weather.
Red Bull's team consultant, Helmut Marko, isn't taking any chances. He's warned Verstappen to steer clear of trouble for the next two races, including Canada, or risk missing the race in Austria. A potential catastrophe if it happens.
McLaren, with Oscar Piastri leading Lando Norris by 10 points, is likely to dominate the race yet again. But Mercedes could give 'em a run for their money. "It's a track where we've tended to find our feet relatively well in the past," said technical director James Allison. Now, if they can just lift that winning curse since their last victory in Las Vegas in November 2022.
Ferrari is also hanging tough. They managed a win back in 2018 with Sebastian Vettel at the Gilles Villeneuve track. This one's close, folks. The battle between Piastri and Norris could heat up.
Don't count out Lewis Hamilton, though. The track has fond memories for him, where he took his first career F1 victory in 2007—the same track where he shares the record of seven wins with Michael Schumacher. He'll be needing a moral boost after slipping to sixth place in Spain.
Lance Stroll, the only Canadian driver, couldn't make it to the Spanish race due to hand and wrist pain. He's expected to be back for the home crowd at the Canadian Grand Prix.
As for the US-owned Haas, they're celebrating their 200th start with a retro grey livery similar to their first one in 2016. With a new season looming, they're aiming high, wanting to break into the top of the midfield. Let's see if they can make it happen.
