Welcome To Montreal 📍

Hey friends,

I wanted to share some great news that I will be in the paddock as an accredited media member this weekend at the Canadian GP with a few ideas I hope to bring to life. This is the one race a year I get to cover on the ground, which makes it extremely special for me.

Accommodations and expenses for the trip will be paid for out of my own pocket only, so if you’re a fan of this newsletter and want to show some support, you can donate & (literally) buy me a coffee by clicking right here.

Make sure to keep up with all the updates I’ll be providing by following all my social media accounts linked above.

Lastly, I’ve added some improvements to this Stat Pack. If you scroll down to the 2026 Leaderboards section, you will now find the qualifying H2H record between teammates, most laps spent in a podium position, and a tracker of the most overtakes completed this season for F1 Fantasy purposes.
