Formula 1 Today: Canadian Grand Prix Preview and Breaking News
As the Formula 1 calendar turns its attention to the iconic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, Autosport’s expert panel of Jon Noble, Jake Boxall-Legge, and Bryn Lucas delve into the latest news and developments in the world of Formula 1.
One of the biggest announcements in recent Formula 1 news is the departure of Esteban Ocon from the Alpine F1 team at the end of the 2024 season. The question on everyone’s mind is whether his on-track clash with teammate Pierre Gasly at Monaco played a role in his decision. Where will Ocon go next, and who will Alpine bring in to replace their veteran driver?
“The future of Daniel Ricciardo is also under scrutiny, with uncertainty surrounding his seat going forward.”
In addition to Ocon’s departure, the trio discusses the reported contract extensions of Sergio Perez and Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull, sparking debate on whether their teams are making the right call.
This week’s episode also provides a comprehensive preview of the Canadian GP, including the potential challenges posed by Montreal’s notorious bumps and how they might affect Red Bull’s performance after their difficult weekend in Monaco. The panel also examines whether McLaren and Ferrari can maintain the pressure on the reigning champions, and the potential impact of unpredictable local weather on the running order.
In other Formula 1 news, the show touches on the possibility of Flavio Briatore’s return to the paddock, Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei’s comments, and the allocated tyres for the Canadian GP.
