Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen will be looking to continue his dominance in the 2023 Formula One season at the
Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, June 18.
The Dutchman recorded his fifth victory in seven races when he led from start to finish at the Spanish Grand Prix on June 4 to take the checkered flag a comfortable 24.090 seconds ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.

Verstappen, who had to settle for P2 behind Sergio Perez at both the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, has opened up a 53-point gap to his Red Bull team-mate at the top of the drivers' standings.
The reigning two-time World Champion claimed the 40th win of his F1 career in Montmelo to close within one of the great Ayrton Senna, who is the fifth most successful driver in terms of victories.

Verstappen is seeking his second triumph at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, having won the race in Montreal for the first time in 2022 ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.
Mercedes secured their best finishes of the campaign last time out thanks to package upgrades as Hamilton and George Russell completed the podium places, and Verstappen has welcomed a potential challenge from his 2021 title rival.
"Yeah, it's great for the sport in general if you have more teams fighting up front. That's what they want to achieve, so honestly, that would be amazing, to have more drivers really up there," the 25-year-old said.
"Hopefully throughout the year it will get closer and maybe next year there are more teams really up there."
2023 Spanish Grand Prix results:
Winner: Max Verstappen - Red Bull Racing
Second Place: Lewis Hamilton - Mercedes
Third Place: George Russell - Mercedes
