It's a slow train making its way back to the grid and into position. Max Verstappen is going to have a bit of a wait up front.

Medium tyres have been selected by most teams to start the race, like Pirelli suggested. A few, including Sergio Perez in the Red Bull, have chosen the hard compound.
Formation lap is under way.

With Charles Leclerc's objective just to claw back as many points as possible today, is this the weekend Max Verstappen tightens his grip on the drivers' title race even more?

Chris Thomas: really hoping that today's race is just as good as qualifying. Safety cars to stop Max disappearing, Alonso up top, Mercs in the battle. Schumacher best starting position. This could be an absolute worldy. Or we finish Max, Sainz, Perez, Leclerc and it's a bore.
Red Bull focusing on good startpublished at 18:57 BST 19 June 2022
Red Bull boss Christian Horner on Sky Sports: "We're going to focus on getting a good start. Fernando's wound up, he's gonna be going for it, we're gonna try get clear of that as soon as we can.
"You've just got to get on with your own thing, be sensible and get stuck in. Checo is out of position, he's gonna be trying to make some progress. I think he's going to make podium."

End of X post'Weekend rich with narratives and drama'published at 18:52 BST 19 June 2022
Andrew Benson
BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer in Montreal
Image source, Getty ImagesIt has been one of those sporting weekends rich with narratives and drama. Even before Formula 1 decamped to Montreal, it was obvious it was going to be a big one. Ferrari’s tile challenge is imploding before everyone’s eyes, and one of those typically F1 technical rows - over bouncing - was in full swing. Sure enough, Charles Leclerc starts from the back of the grid with a penalty for exceeding his engine usage allowance, and the bouncing row has gone nuclear, Toto Wolff accusing Christian Horner and Mattia Binotto of “pitiful” and “disingenuous” behaviour.
On track, Red Bull and Max Verstappen appear to have an open goal to inflict maximum pain on Leclerc and Ferrari after grabbing pole in a qualifying session that demanded one’s attention throughout, and alongside him on the front row is Fernando Alonso, after one of the performances of the season so far - arguably the performance of the season so far - in the Alpine.

The sticky tape is back.
We saw Alpha Tauri use some last weekend on Yuki Tsunoda's rear wing and now Ferrari have got a few rolls out to stick on Charles Leclerc's car.
