It’s time for the first competitive session of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, as sprint qualifying is next up on the F1 schedule.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Kimi Antonelli enters the session as the man in form, having set a strong lap time in free practice, riding a wave of confidence after securing three consecutive grand prix victories.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Mercedes looked to have a significant advantage over the pack at the end of free practice, with Antonelli leading his team-mate George Russell.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
But what can Russell respond with, and who will take early advantage into Saturday? It’s time to find out!\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
