DESCRIPTION
A 40-minute calibration session in identical Tatuus F4-level cars. Watch who gets to the braking markers confidently, who uses the curbs without upsetting the car, and who looks composed before the lap times matter.
MORE INFOFORMAT
F1 Academy is the women-focused F1 pathway series: identical cars, lots of track time, and a young grid still revealing itself.
VIEWER NOTES
Briefing: F1 Academy gets a three-race Montréal format, so the weekend rewards both single-lap pace and repeatable execution. Payton Westcott (#9) and Kaylee Countryman (#91) are the Americans; Autumn Fisher (#77) is the Canadian wild card; Alisha Palmowski (#21), Ella Lloyd (#20), Nina Gademan (#3), Alba Larsen (#12), and Emma Felbermayr (#5) are useful pace anchors.
- Watch starts and first-lap positioning; lower-power cars punish lost momentum.
- Compare who exits chicanes cleanly rather than who looks most dramatic.
- Track evolution matters: later laps may be cleaner as confidence and rubber build.

DESCRIPTION
F2 has never raced Montréal before this 2026 round, so practice is a live learning test. With only one session, teams need setup direction fast and drivers need to find the walls without finding them literally.
MORE INFOFORMAT
Spec Dallara F2 cars: driver execution matters more than car advantage, making this a clean junior-talent read.
VIEWER NOTES
Briefing: F2 is the final rung before F1 and Montréal is new to the championship in 2026. Watch Colton Herta (#4) as the American/Cadillac-path curiosity, Rafael Câmara (#1) as the recent F3 champion, Sebastián Montoya (#11) for name pressure, and Dino Beganovic (#7) / Nikola Tsolov (#6) as major junior-program names.
- Use braking zones as the tell: the best drivers brake late once, not twice.
- DRS can make passes look simple, so judge setup through the corner before the straight.
- A calm driver in traffic is usually more impressive than a spectacular lock-up.

VIEWER NOTES
Briefing: this is the main F1 weekend story. Montréal rewards braking confidence, traction, curb control, and clean wall margins. In person, the useful tell is repeatability: the best drivers look calm at the same braking marker lap after lap.
- Track evolution is huge: compare early and late laps in qualifying.
- The final chicane is a confidence detector. Fast is good; greedy is expensive.
- In the race, watch Safety Car timing and tyre degradation more than nominal pit-stop count.
STRATEGY BRIEFING
FP1 is the strategy foundation: teams need brake confidence, traction, tyre warm-up, and energy deployment direction in one hour before parc fermé pressure begins.
- Watch long-straight energy deployment: Montréal has a low 6 MJ qualifying recharge limit.
- Brake stability matters because this is the highest brake-energy race of the season.
- Green track evolution will be large; early FP1 pace may lie.

STRATEGY BRIEFING
Use the Sprint as the tyre-degradation read. If Medium or Hard graining looks ugly, Sunday leans toward a two-stop. If the Hard is gentle, the one-stop stays alive.
- Treat tyre wear as Sunday evidence, not just Sprint entertainment.
- Look for Medium graining and Hard warm-up behavior.
- Any Safety Car/VSC will reveal which teams pre-planned their neutralisation rules.

Reverse-grid compression makes this the chaos race. It is less pure pace read, more racecraft lab: starts, restarts, tire discipline, and who can overtake without burning the car up.

STRATEGY BRIEFING
Qualifying matters more than usual here: pole has won 11 of the last 18 Canadian GPs and finished on the podium 15 times. With limited sprint-weekend practice, any setup miss becomes visible fast.
- Grid is king: no dry winner from outside the front two since 2014.
- Watch who can deploy energy cleanly from L’Epingle to the final chicane.
- The Wall of Champions is the confidence limit, not a decoration.

- The final chicane is a confidence detector. Fast is good; greedy is expensive.
- In the race, watch Safety Car timing and tyre degradation more than nominal pit-stop count.
STRATEGY BRIEFING
Race strategy shape from Ruth Buscombe / Race Strategy Society: Montréal is usually won by survival, grid position, Safety Car timing, and getting the tyre-deg call right. Pole has won 11 of the last 18 Canadian GPs, and the race often punishes cars that fail to finish more than it rewards clever extra stops.
- Baseline plan: Medium-Hard one-stop around L22-28 if degradation is low.
- Two-stop Medium-Hard-Hard becomes attractive if Hard deg rises above roughly 0.03s/lap or Saturday shows graining.
- Safety Car between roughly L20-50 is likely a box-now trigger; short VSCs require reading the hazard, not just the light.
