Alpine’s Pierre Gasly was furious after taking evasive action to avoid Carlos Sainz as he missed out on Q2. Sainz received a penalty post-qualifying

The grid for the Canadian Grand Prix has seen a number of changes after penalties were handed out to several drivers post Qualifying.

Nico Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda have all been handed three-place demotions for incidents during the rain-soaked session.

Hulkenberg had initially qualified second behind Max Verstappen, but he will now start fifth after being penalised for not slowing sufficiently when a red flag was put out for Oscar Piastri’s crash in Q3.

As a result, Fernando Alonso will now start on the front row alongside Verstappen while Lewis Hamilton and George Russell lock out the second row for Mercedes.
