Mercedes and McLaren will both introduce significant car upgrades at this week's Canadian Grand Prix as the 2026 Formula 1 season continues to evolve.
Mercedes enters the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve round as the early leader after sweeping the first four races. Sophomore driver Kimi Antonelli holds the championship lead following a hat-trick of wins in Miami and leads teammate George Russell by 20 points. The team has saved its major upgrade package for Montreal in hopes of extending its advantage.
