Arriving for the Canadian Grand Prix in unmistakable style, the seven-time world champion rolled into the paddock on a motorcycle wearing a Canadian tuxedo, a sleek denim-on-denim look that turned heads and set social media abuzz.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is, like other venues on the Formula 1 calendar, the indirect result of a city hosting a major event unrelated to racing. In this case, of the Expo 67, the World’s Fair held in 1967 in Montreal. The track is located on Île Notre-Dame, a man-made island in the St. Lawrence River.

Kimi Antonelli finished fourth, one place ahead of Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton. Russell started on pole here last year and came from nowhere to secure first place again. Verstappen, who crashed into Russell at the previous round in Spain, will join him on the front row.

With the news that he had been cleared to race at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend getting the city’s pulse racing, Lance Stroll made a pit stop at his favourite Montreal deli. Looking happy to be back on home turf, Stroll and the Aston Martin team hit up one of the city’s most iconic spots for smoked meat.
