George Russell will start the Canadian Grand Prix from pole position, whilst penalties for Isack Hadjar and Yuki Tsunoda have changed the starting grid.
Hadjar had qualified in ninth but will start from 12th following a three-place grid penalty for impeding Carlos Sainz in Q1, whilst Tsunoda received a 10-place grid penalty for a red-flag infringement in third practice.
As a result, Tsunoda will start from last, as he only managed to qualify in 11th and was eliminated in Q2.
Max Verstappen joins Russell on the front row, with Oscar Piastri and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli completing row two. Lando Norris starts from a disappointing seventh.
