Is this the day someone breaks the Red Bull streak?

It is race day in Montreal.

After a wet qualifying Saturday shook up the field somewhat, drivers are facing much drier conditions for the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix. Is this the day that one of the teams breaks the Red Bull streak at the top of the grid, as either Max Verstappen or Sergio Pérez has won every race this season? Or does that streak roll on, likely with pole-sitter Verstappen securing his fourth-straight victory?

Qualifying finished on Saturday with a surprising driver slated to start next to Verstappen on the front row: Nico Hülkenberg of Haas. But with race officials handing down a three-place grid penalty to the Haas driver for his failure to maintain the required pace on a red flag, Verstappen will now start alongside Fernando Alonso, with the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell making up the row behind him.

Here is the starting grid for today’s race:

The race gets underway at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, and here are all the ways you can watch, including the debut of The Grandstand, an alternate telecast with current Red Bull reserve Daniel Ricciardo, and actor (and F1 fanatic) Will Arnett hosting.

We’ll be back at race time with live updates, so come back early, and often!
