'George is under pressure' - why Canada is a big weekend for Russell

George Russell returns from Formula 1's latest break this weekend in Canada aiming to kickstart his world championship challenge after team-mate Kimi Antonelli's hat-trick of wins saw the Italian teenager open up a 20-point lead over him at the top of the standings.

After a stop-start beginning to the new season after the enforced five-week break of April was followed by a scheduled three-week gap between Miami and Canada, Montreal is the first of seven grands prix in the next 10 weeks ahead of the sport's usual August summer break.
