[00:00:03]It's race day once again and we're moments away from lights out and the all important sprint towards turn one.

[00:00:10]Welcome to another Formula 1 Grand Prix.

[00:00:21]A 2.7 mile circuit peaking at around 190 mph. There are two DRS zones, 14 turns which conclude with the famous wall of champions and many a car has found their race ending right there.

[00:00:40]Let's run you through the driver grid order for today's exciting race.

[00:00:47]Fantastic effort from Charlotte yesterday and it's put him on pole with Esther Van Okon alongside. As we continue through the rest of the grid today we have Hamilton Russell Max Vstappen and Pastri Antonelli Norris Gazzley and Niko Hulenberg Colipinto Haja Arvid Lindblad and Alonzo signs Bortalto Olly Bman and Lance Stroll Lawson and Alex Alburn picks up the last spot on the grid. It's almost time for those five red lights to go out then. Let's see who can prevail today.

[00:01:30]Hello everyone. I'm Alex Jakes. Joining me for this one, a real authority on all things four-wheel, Naomi Schiff is alongside me. Well, this is the most advanced sport anywhere on the planet.

[00:01:42]How's it changed since you were last racing? It is certainly an interesting time in this set of regulations because as you know when a new set of regulations come out everything changes and you always wonder who's got it right. Well, we know that Red Bull are the ones who really got it right the last couple of years. But now you can see the rest of the grid slowly start to catch up and there's really only so much left for Red Bull to get out of these regulations. So it is interesting and the pack are catching up.

[00:02:17]Right then, the formation lap is underway here in Montreal. A circuit where the cars take a physical battering and the pit and paddock facilities are cramped. But the atmosphere, as always, is great. And the race ahead has the potential to be a good one.

[00:02:46]So, as all the cars take their positions on the grid, the teams will be hoping their strategies pay off for them in today's race. But the question I'm asking is which teams have got it right and which teams have got it horribly wrong.
