How to watch the F1 Canadian Grand Prix today: Live stream for free

Mercedes and Ferrari have unleashed upgrades over the past two grands prix that they hope will finally give Red Bull a run for their money.

So far, Max Verstappen's stiffest competition has been his own teammate Sergio Perez.

It gave hope to Mercedes fans - and doubtless their own staff - that a victory over Red Bull might be just around the corner.
