Lance Stroll has the pole position at the Turkish Grand Prix today, becoming the first Canadian to win a pole in Formula 1 in nearly a quarter of a century.

Jacques Villeneuve was the last Canadian to take a pole position when he qualified first at the 1997 European Grand Prix in his championship-winning season.

Stroll ended that drought with a stunning performance in wet conditions in Istanbul, beating heavy favorite Max Verstappen by 0.3s on his final lap.
