Domingo decisive in Montreal
The final grand prize is scheduled for Sunday, May 24th at 5pm. Este is the moment where Antonelli and his rivals come in search of crucial points in the fight for the championship. Montreal offers a technical lap with fast straights, tight corners and great potential for overtaking. The tire strategy and the use of the DRS (drag reduction system) will be fundamental.
Gilles-Villeneuve is one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar. Localizado on the Ilha of Notre-Dame, the layout demands precision from the drivers and offers little margin for error, especially in fast curves and in the main braking zones.
Expectativas and fifth stage context
Com Antonelli maintains a comfortable lead, rivals such as Russell and other competitors on the grid seek to reduce the gap. The F1 scoring system, which distributes points across all sprint race sessions, makes each activity important for the overall classification.
The Canadian circuit has historically rewarded drivers with good brake control and aerodynamic efficiency. Equipes like Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari should bring improvements to the setup for this stage. The weather conditions of Montreal may also influence the results, with the possibility of rain that would complicate the route.
F1 Academy and Fórmula 2 will also present their races throughout the weekend, creating a full menu of motorsport entertainment for fans on Montreal and viewers on official broadcasts.
