Time On Track Ep. 9 Round 9 – Canada

The summer season is in full swing with round 9 of the 2023 Formula 1 season at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the Canadian GP. Ricardo and Blake return to discuss the race, which saw most of its excitement take place in a very wet qualifying session. Despite the tire drama of qualifying, the starting order wasn’t too far out of the norm, especially after a penalty knocked Hass’ Kevin Magnussen off the front row. There was plenty more to discuss after this race, from a rebounding Aston Martin team, a Mercedes team that is finally understanding its car, and a worrying trend continuing for Sergio Perez. We talk about all this and more in the full episode below.

Our next episode covering round 10 of the season will air the first week of July, after the Austrian GP which takes place July 1st. The Austrian Grand Prix takes place at the Red Bull Ring, which is, as you may guessed, Red Bull’s home track. Max may have 3 victories at this circuit, but it’s Charles Leclerc who will be defending his win last year. Will the Ferrari’s be a threat this year after showing some decent pace in Canada? Be sure to catch episode 10 to find out.
