The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and CAA-Quebec, in partnership with the FIA Foundation for Automobile and Society and Transport Canada, held a live road safety demonstration prior to this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, featuring Canadian racing icon Jacques Villeneuve and seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher…

There was plenty of action as Formula One cars once again hammered round the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Friday morning, as Jenson Button set the pace for McLaren in opening practice for the Canadian Grand Prix. The reigning champion was on strong form with a lap of 1m 18.127s in overcast but dry conditions, but it was tight at the top as Mercedes were also in the fight…

The art of racing your team mate is very much under the microscope this weekend in Montreal, following the clash in Turkey between Red Bull’s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, and the ensuing wheel-banging fight for the lead between Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button at McLaren…

Montreal hosted ‘Le Grand Soir’ or ‘Grand Evening’ on Thursday to welcome Formula One racing back to the Canadian city after a one-year absence. The spectacular event, staged in the old Windsor train station, saw one of the biggest ever gatherings of drivers and team principals outside of the F1 paddock, with numerous other luminaries, including Bernie Ecclestone, also in attendance…

With just one win and a 26-point deficit to championship leaders Red Bull in the 2010 standings, Ferrari have not enjoyed the best of starts to the season. However, driver Fernando Alonso remains confident his team can get on top of their development struggles and reverse their fortunes as the calendar’s midpoint approaches. At the last race in Turkey, Alonso struggled in qualifying to such an extent that he failed to make it through to Q3 and started the race from 12th

There isn’t a team in the paddock that isn’t welcoming the return to North America, and everyone is excited about the prospect of racing once again on the 4.361-kilometre (2.709-mile) Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Montreal’s Ile Notre Dame. Some, however, which includes Red Bull who hitherto have taken all seven 2010 pole positions, expect it to be a cakewalk for McLaren. That’s because the strategy is always to minimise downforce here because of the long straights, which will particularly favour their top speed as their F-duct which is working much better than Mercedes’, Red Bull’s, Ferrari’s or Force India’s…

Red Bull have endured a rough ride in the ten days since May’s Turkish Grand Prix. As well as the furore that surrounded the crash between team mates Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber at Istanbul Park, the team also know that this weekend’s Canadian race will be a tough test, with many tipping McLaren to dominate. Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with its slow corners and long straights, should certainly favour the F-Duct equipped MP4-25 of the British team

Former Montreal winners Robert Kubica and Lewis Hamilton will be among the drivers answering questions on Thursday, while on Friday the spotlight falls on team bosses from Renault, Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren. The line-up in full…

After another encouraging showing at the recent Turkish Grand Prix, Renault have their sites firmly set on Mercedes GP, who are now just 27 points ahead in the constructors’ standings. Technical director James Allison reviews the team’s form and looks ahead to this weekend’s Canadian race in Montreal…

Red Bull Racing announced on Monday that Mark Webber’s contract has been extended, meaning the Australian will continue to drive for the team next season. Webber, who leads the 2010 driver standings, has been with the Austrian-owned squad since 2007. With Sebastian Vettel already contracted to Red Bull for next year, it means the team’s driver line-up will remain unchanged for the third season in a row.
