George Russell will start the Canadian Grand Prix Sprint from pole position after edging out Kimi Antonelli.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

It is an all-Ferrari third row, with Lewis Hamilton in fifth and Charles Leclerc alongside him, while Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar form the fourth row.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Arvid Lindblad is the leading midfield driver in ninth. However, Liam Lawson will start from last after missing Sprint qualifying.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
