George Russell threw down the gauntlet to Max Verstappen ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix after snatching pole position from the Dutchman. Russell produced a scintillating final lap in qualifying to clinch his first pole of the season, pipping Verstappen by 0.160 seconds, with championship leader Oscar Piastri is third.

Max Verstappen has been involved in yet another heated Sky Sports exchange, this time with F1 pundit Ted Kravitz.
