McLaren 's dominance was tossed to one side on Saturday as George Russell grabbed pole for Mercedes at the Canadian Grand Prix. He will be joined on the front row by Red Bull 's Max Verstappen two weeks after their controversial on-track collision in Spain.

Max Verstappen and George Russell are set to fight for the lead of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix from the front row. This is why their rivalry is so charged

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.

Croft then suggested that he might not get another opportunity. “It doesn’t matter, you just say no,” Rosberg replied. When asked about the alternative option of Arvid Lindblad, the German racer fired back: “Give it to him if he wants to take it. You should be like ‘Be my guest. After you, sir. Be my guest.’”
