Sergio Perez failed to advance to Q3 for the third-straight Formula 1 race in the Canadian Grand Prix, as Charles Leclerc was also knocked out in Q2. In wet/dry conditions in the second segment of Qualifying, a majority of the field elected to swap to red-marked Soft tyres while track conditions improved, with Alex Albon topping the segment for Williams. However, both Perez and Leclerc stayed out on Intermediate tyres for too long, and were too late in switching over to slicks. Leclerc qualified 11th fastest, with Perez only managing 12th quickest, meaning he has failed to get out of Q2 across Monaco, Spain and now Canada after taking pole in Miami. As for Leclerc, it is the second straight race he has been knocked out in Q2 - having had car problems last time out in Spain. Lewis Hamilton was the last driver through to Q3, 0.189s up on Leclerc's best effort. Lance Stroll, Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas were also eliminated in the segment.
