The streets of Montreal are set to witness not just another Grand Prix, but a pivotal moment in a season already rich with drama, talent, and unpredictability.
Before the engines roar to life at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, three drivers have emerged as championship leaders.
Oscar Piastri: The Rookie No More
Topping the standings with 186 points, Oscar Piastri has taken the 2025 F1 world by storm.
The young Australian, once considered a promising newcomer, now stands as the man to beat.
His journey this season has been defined by remarkable precision and relentless focus.
From Bahrain to Monaco, Piastri has outmaneuvered more seasoned drivers with surgical overtakes and well-managed tire strategies.
His performance in Barcelona was a turning point: a pole position followed by a commanding lights-to-flag victory.
It was there that he cemented himself as a championship frontrunner. McLaren’s faith in him has paid off handsomely, with Piastri leading not only in points but also in confidence.
Heading into the Canadian GP, he knows that Montreal’s unique demands are another chance to showcase his well-rounded skillset.
