I previewed the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, breaking down what to expect at this classic Montreal circuit with the new 2026 regulations. The track's stop-and-go layout with heavy braking zones and long straights should create interesting energy management challenges.

I went through my predictions for pole position, podium finishes, and race winner, discussing how the circuit characteristics might favor certain teams. Canada ranks 11th out of 24 tracks for energy usage, sitting in the middle for harvesting opportunities, which could make strategy crucial.

I also covered some circuit history, including the famous Wall of Champions and how the track's unforgiving nature might catch out drivers still adapting to the new cars. With Alex unable to make it again, I shared his predictions to keep our season-long competition going.

The narrow track with no runoff areas could create some exciting moments, and I discussed whether we might see any surprises in the championship fight between Antonelli and Russell.
