All but two of the cars have ultra-soft tyres on, the exceptions being Kevin Mganussen's Haas and Pascal Wehrlein's Sauber.

The cars are away for the formation lap... apart from one! Daniil Kvyat isn't moving.
Oh, wait. Someone gives him a little push and that gets him going.

I grew up with Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and I was fortunate enough to have Steve McQueen as a producer on one of my first pictures while he was preparing for Le Mans so I was lucky enough to go out with him in his car a few times.
"My family are historically McLaren fans - we are having a tough few seasons but hopefully we will improve.
"I am a huge fan of Fernando Alonso and was so impressed with how he handled himself at the Indy 500 before the unfortunate breakdown".

The sun is shining but the wind is strong. There could be a few twists to come in this race.

Image source, Rex FeaturesStrategy-wise, this race is similar to Monaco. It’ll be a one-stop strategy, starting on the ultra-soft for most and then switching to the super-soft for the duration. But degradation is higher than Monaco and the crossover time at which a new super-soft is quicker than a used ultra-soft is sooner - at around lap 15. People will want to stop as soon as possible but whether they can will be dictated by gaps in traffic. There will be two races - the one involving Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull; and the rest. Anyone outside the top three teams cannot afford to pit and come out behind, say, a Sauber doing an inverse strategy because overtaking is difficult, despite the long straight.

BBC Radio 5 liveChristian Horner speaking on 5 live:
"Daniel Ricciardo's reaction to the windy conditions? He said, "It's a bit gusty mayte!"
"You can see the complexity of the aerodynamics on these cars so you can imagine how a strong cross wind or tail wind will affect it. What we don't know is who it will affect most.
"This is a big race for Lewis Hamilton because he can't really afford to drop many more points."

Image source, Getty ImagesRed Bull are hoping the Canadian Grand Prix will confirm the progress they have made with the major aerodynamic upgrade initially introduced in Spain, and which has been tweaked since. Daniel Ricciardo - happy enough to qualify 0.15secs down on team-mate Max Verstappen after missing most of Friday practice with engine problems, including a significant internal combustion engine failure - thinks he has “a pretty good race car. It should be pretty kind to the rear tyres. I think we’ll be closer in the race.”
The progress Red Bull have made can be seen from off-setting for power effect. The Renault is said to be somewhere in the region of 25-45bhp off the Mercedes depending on what engine mode it’s in. Apply the ballpark bhp/lap time calculation for 45bhp to the gap between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton on Saturday, and the Red Bull is 0.224secs off the Mercedes in chassis terms. That’s half the deficit it had in the first four races.
