Now in his third season in Formula One, the Canadian native finally has the chance to compete at his home country’s track.
It’s been a long three years since Formula One has competed in Canada, and this lengthy hiatus was not by choice. The sport didn’t compete for more than 200 days after the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, drastically changing its calendar that season.
While parts of the world began to open up, Canada’s guidelines remained strict, forcing the cancelation of the the 2021 Grand Prix. But now, Formula One returns to Montreal, and this time, it has a Montreal native on its grid.
