Sophomore sensation Lewis Hamilton leads the biggest names in open wheel racing into Montreal this weekend for Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix. TSN has all the live action beginning Saturday, June 7 at 1 p.m. ET with qualifying on the TSN alternate feed, followed by the race on Sunday, June 8 at 12:30 p.m. ET on TSN. This marks the 30th anniversary of the race being held at the famous circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
TSN will produce a live 30-minute pre-race show on race day (Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET) with host Todd Lewis from the TSN studio and analyst Gerald Donaldson who will be trackside in Montreal. SportsCentre's John Lu will file reports leading up to and following Sunday's race.
Coming off of his victory at last month's Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton looks to continue his winning ways in his McLaren-Mercedes as he returns to defend his title at the Canadian Grand Prix. Hamilton enters this weekend's race atop the standings with 38 points, followed closely by Ferrari drivers Kimi Räikkönen (35) and Felipe Massa (34). BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica, who survived a horrifying crash at last year's Canadian Grand Prix, will be back looking to join Hamilton, Räikkönen and Massa as the only drivers to register a win so far this season.
