Straight after Fernando's home race in Spain, we travelled to the circuit where the Aston Martin Racing Green tends to come with a #18 attached. The Canadian Grand Prix used to be a double-header with the United States, but with the races in America migrating to southern states, our visits to Montréal have become a standalone excursion in F1’s European summer.

Not that this presents a hardship: the Canadian Grand Prix is one of those races with a real buzz around it. It's an event that generates some of the sport’s biggest crowds, best parties and most dramatic racing. The old school Circuit Gilles Villeneuve doesn’t take prisoners with its narrow, tunnel-like layout and rarely does a race pass without high drama. It’s been a good track for us in the past, but 2025 posed new intrigues with softer tyres and the first dry race on a track resurfaced after the 2023 Grand Prix.

Off the back of his first points of the season, Fernando was eager to get going and secured additional points in Canada. Returning from an injury, Lance concluded the race in P17. We also had F1 Academy back this weekend, with Aston Martin Aramco F1 Academy driver Tina Hausmann extend her recent run of points-scoring finishes by securing points in all three of Montréal's races.
