PADDOCK INSIDER: Three teams are in the fight for victory in Canada – F1 has a proper World Championship battle on its hands

For the first time in three years, Formula 1 has a proper World Championship fight on its hands with three teams – Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren – in with a chance of taking the constructors’ crown. And that means we could have a proper fight on our hands for victory at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Reigning world champion Max Verstappen gave Red Bull their 100th F1 Grand Prix win when he triumphed in Montreal last year, in what was his fourth win on the bounce and part of a run of 10 race wins in a row.
