2026 F1 regulations - Canadian Grand Prix - F1 - Fernando Alonso - Lando Norris - Max Verstappen - McLaren - Race strategies - Safety regulations - Technical issues

Lando Norris dominates rain-affected F1 practice session in Montréal as McLaren expresses concerns over 2026 draft rules. Find out the latest updates and secrets of the Safety Car.

The anticipation was high as Lando Norris from McLaren dominated the rain-affected first practice session at the FIA Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix in Montréal. Despite the challenging conditions, Norris showcased his skill, topping the timesheets and setting the pace for the weekend ahead. Meanwhile, McLaren's team boss, Andrea Stella, raised concerns about the draft 2026 rules potentially making cars too slow in corners and too fast on the straights.

In a mix of wet and dry sessions, Fernando Alonso made a splash by topping FP2 before rain hit the circuit. His impressive performance in the changing conditions highlighted the talent on the track during the Canadian Grand Prix. As the teams grapple with the evolving regulations, including reducing the size and weight of cars and introducing active aerodynamics and lower drag, the competition promises to be intense.

The FIA has unveiled fresh details of the 2026 Formula 1 regulations, focusing on a revamped aerodynamic concept to enhance racing and safety. With talks of the new rules weaning F1 off the downforce 'drug' and changing the dynamics of the sport, excitement and uncertainty surround the future of Formula 1.

In a twist of fate, George Russell raised safety concerns over the 'crazy' top speeds expected in the 2026 cars, urging the FIA to consider improvements. As the Canadian Grand Prix unfolds with its unpredictability and thrilling battles, fans await qualifying and the ultimate showdown on the iconic circuit.
