F1 Canadian Grand Prix

It seemss that Russell went wide at the hairpin, which let Antonelli trickle through.

Albon has stopped at the hairpin, for the second year in a row.

Piastri stops for a second time, for a new front wing - so it looks like they've come to blows.

Verstappen loves that wide line through the hairpin, doesn't he? Hamilton can't close the gap enough to put an overtake attempt on.

Norris passes Bearman at the hairpin, as Gasly had got past the Haas. Norris then takes ninth from the Alpine on the run out of the chicane.

Russell leads Antonelli by 1.0s, with Verstappen 3.2s behind.

Norris is within a second of Gasly and will aim to climb back into the top 10.

Piastri, meanwhile, is trying to close down Albon.

Verstappen fires past Hamilton and moves up to third, with a great run out of the final corner. He's got a 2.3s gap to close to Antonelli.

"I've got no power, come on guys!" Hamilton reports, presumably annoyed with his deployment plan.

He's sticking with Verstappen, however.

Antonelli had really locked up on that last lap, very nearly getting too close to Russell's rear end. Hamilton might have an opportunity to capitalise.

Gasly has now passed Alonso, while the McLarens have cleared Ocon.

Hamilton now drops out of the overtake range of Russell now, which might leave him vulnerable to Verstappen.

Russell, meanwhile, stays on Antonelli's tail and gets the move done into the back chicane! Antonelli outbrakes himself, and skates across the run-off. The lead is Russell's once more!

Gasly has a go at Alonso but went off at Turn 14, so had to give 10th back.

Verstappen gets a bit wide in the hairpin, as he tries to keep in overtake range of Hamilton.

So, we've got Antonelli, Russell, Hamilton, Verstappen, Leclerc, Hadjar, Colapinto, Lawson, Bearman, and Alonso in the top 10.

Norris tries to have a go at Albon but instead skates across the grass at Turn 3. Luckily, there's a massive gap between him and Stroll so doesn't lose a place.

Piastri moves up to 15th.

Antonelli has to defend his new-found lead from Russell, who tries a move at Turn 1.

Hamilton is chasing the Mercs here, with Verstappen and Leclerc just behind them. Hadjar's also in this battle.

Norris comes out of the pits in 14th, while Piastri is 17th.

Bearman screams past Gasly and Bortoleto to get up to 11th, as Alonso gets through the Audi too - it's difficult for the drivers to build tyre temperature.

Antonelli had got past Russell into the first corner, and is now pressing Norris - who will pit for slicks.

Hulkenberg, Sainz, Bortoleto, and Perez also ditch their inters.

Everyone's lined up, but we get another formation lap as Lindblad's car hadn't been moved off the grid yet.

It has now been moved into the pitlane, so we should be okay this time around. We're now down to 68 laps.

If you're not watching the Indy 500 right now, you should be. We'll hold off on the spoilers, but you can follow along here.

Plenty of other sport going on too, with the French Open now running. Not that we cover tennis here, of course.

F1 Canadian Grand Prix

Hello everyone, and welcome once more to our live coverage of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. It's the big one - the full 70-lap race is upon us.

And, for all the fears that drivers had over a wet race, it's actually dry - but it's cold, and just 12C in Montreal.

Speaking of weather - if you're watching the Indy 500 - little sprinkles of rain keep interrupting green-flag running.
