Former F1 World Champion unleashes scathing criticism on Daniel Ricciardo, questioning his place in F1 grid. Chaos ensues in Montréal with McLaren's Lando Norris leading the pack in rain-affected practice session.

Former Formula 1 World Champion, Jacques Villeneuve, has stirred up controversy with his recent comments about Daniel Ricciardo, claiming the Australian driver is only still in F1 due to his 'image.' The savage take-down has divided fans and experts, sparking heated debates across the F1 community. Meanwhile, in a chaotic turn of events in Montréal, McLaren's Lando Norris emerged as the leader in a rain-affected practice session, adding to the drama of the F1 season.

Amidst the drama, McLaren team boss Andrea Stella raised concerns about the upcoming 2026 F1 draft rules, warning that they could lead to cars being too slow in corners and too fast on straights. The anticipation and apprehension surrounding the future of F1 have only heightened with Stella's remarks, fueling speculations and discussions among fans and teams alike.

On a different note, the FIA Safety Car, a crucial element in F1 races for ensuring safety, was spotlighted for its pivotal role in transforming races. The insights shared by driver Bernd regarding the Safety Car shed light on its significance and impact on the dynamics of a race, providing fans with a deeper understanding of the sport's safety protocols and strategies.

In a final twist, as the F1 Canadian Grand Prix unfolded, Fernando Alonso showcased his speed by topping FP2 before rain interruptions. The Aston Martin driver's impressive performance added excitement to the event, setting the stage for an eventful race weekend that promises intense competition and unpredictable outcomes.
