The magical week of Colton Herta. The youngest Indycar race winner earlier this week was able to test the 2021 McLaren in Portimao for two days. The American driver was thus able for the first time to have a taste of F1, a category that awaits him with open arms pushed by Liberty Media.
Herta in Canada in qualifying in Toronto was consistently among the fastest, confirming the good results already expressed in free practice. The driver Andretti signed the pole position in the last useful lap after securing his entry into the fastest six by resisting the last assault of Scott Dixonthe last driver to record a timed time that brought him to the front row.
Third position and second row for Josef Newgarden, which has the great chance of shortening the standings on Marcus Ericsson and Will Power. The Swede of the Ganassi team did not go beyond the ninth position, while the Penske driver will even start sixteenth betrayed by a red flag caused by the knockout of Kyle Kirkwood that prevented him from completing an excellent lap.
He will have to prepare to reassemble too Alex Palou, who found himself with the engine knocked out in the first phase of Qualifying. The driver managed by Monaco Increase Management will start from 22nd position. The race will be broadcast on Sky Sport F1 tonight starting at 9.20pm. Below are the salient stages of the Qualifications and the complete results.
