Update, June 19, 7:06 p.m.:
70 laps are scheduled today at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Who has the staying power and what is important in Canada today?

That will be crucial.”

It is no coincidence that he became Formula 2 and Formula 3 champion.” Haas boss Günther Steiner is also happy.

Formula 1: Canadian GP in the live ticker - Mick Schumacher in front of a historic moment
First report from June 19, 4 p.m.:

By taking sixth place on the grid in Montreal, the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher set a highlight and can hope for his first liberating World Championship points in the race (8 p.m. CEST).
Formula 1: Mick Schumacher shows his critics - Vettel with problems
“Of course it's nice to have a good result.
Something to build on.
That shows that I'm here for a good reason," said Schumacher, who was recently criticized after his serious accidents in Jeddah and Monaco.
He wants to do his "best" in the race to hold his position - after all, highly rated drivers such as George Russell (Mercedes), World Championship runner-up Sergio Perez (Red Bull) and World Championship third Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) are starting in top cars behind him.
Surprisingly, veteran Fernando Alonso is on the front row of the grid for the first time in ten years.
Ex-world champion Sebastian Vettel, on the other hand, didn't get along at all in qualifying on the slippery track in Canada.
"That can't be," radioed the native of southern Hesse to his Aston-Martin command post: "I had no grip," emphasized Vettel and reacted unmistakably annoyed: "Oh, maaaaaan."
Will it get better in the race on Sunday evening?
We'll know more from 8 p.m.
