Nico Hulkenberg of Red Bull won the pole position in wet qualifying at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the 25th time in his Formula One career. He was forced to drop to fifth after being subjected to a post-qualifying hearing for a red flag infraction.
Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin moved up to second as a result of Hulkenberg’s penalty, but further possibilities were lost for him because of the red light for Oscar Piastri’s collision.
