George Russell will start the Canadian Grand Prix Sprint from pole position after edging out Kimi Antonelli.

The Briton was just 0.068s faster than the championship leader to secure the front-row spot in Montreal, ahead of the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

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.

Arvid Lindblad is the leading midfield driver in ninth. However, Liam Lawson will start from last after missing Sprint qualifying.

On Saturday morning, Alpine decided to take Pierre Gasly’s car out of parc ferme and break the curfew to change parts and set-up, meaning he will start from the pit-lane.

He will be joined by Alex Albon of Williams, Haas’s Oliver Bearman and the Cadillac of Valtteri Bottas, leaving 18 cars on the grid.

NOTE: Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
