Cody Rhodes in

George Russell will lead a Mercedes one-two off the grid for the 2026 F1 Canadian Grand Prix Sprint race – and be looking to eat into Kimi Antonelli’s points lead.

Russell out-qualified Antonelli by less than a tenth on Friday, with the Briton hoping to reduce the 20-point advantage the Italian has in the 23-lap Sprint.

To find out, you can follow all the live action with our dedicated live blog below, which also features live timing!
