Formula 1: 2024 Canadian Grand Prix qualifying updates, full starting lineup

After it did not host races in 2020 or 2021 due to COVID-19-related restrictions, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve returned to the Formula 1 calendar in 2022, and it has hosted the Canadian Grand Prix ever since.

The iconic 14-turn, 2.71-mile (4.361-kilometer) course on Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada has hosted Formula 1 since 1978.

Both races since the track returned to the calendar in 2022 have been won from pole, and both have been won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who went on to win the world championship in both seasons.

Seven races have been contested at the venue since 2015, and five have been won by the season's eventual world champion.

On only one occasion during that stretch did the winner come from somewhere other than the pole position, and that only happened in 2019 after a bit of controversy kept polesitter Sebastian Vettel from beating Lewis Hamilton.

It has actually been a full decade since somebody other than the polesitter crossed the finish line first, with Daniel Ricciardo's maiden Formula 1 win coming from sixth on the grid in 2014.

Bottom line, qualifying tends to be rather important in Canada, even more so than it is at most other venues on the Formula 1 calendar.
