2023 F1 Canadian Grand Prix session timings and preview

Red Bull's Max Verstappen goes to Montreal with an extended lead of 53 points following his fifth win of the 2023 F1 season in Barcelona a fortnight ago.

Lewis Hamilton is only fourth in the standings behind Verstappen, Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso, but he is the joint-most successful driver at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve with seven career wins.
