The championship leader with a whopping 137 points from the opening six races, Lewis Hamilton will look to add yet another Canadian GP victory to his decorated CV. The Brit has won six times at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, including three of the last four outings.

Charles Leclerc has endured a frustrating start to his Formula 1 career at Ferrari, but it's only a matter of time before the prodigious Monegasque, 21, finds himself standing atop the podium. Can he find the breakthrough in Canada?
