Default sort is points-finish %, the share of a driver's Canadian starts that ended in the top ten. Click any column header to re-sort, or any driver to see their year by year. The swatch is each driver's 2026 team. Expanded rows use the colour of the car they actually drove that year.

Same car, different scoreboard.

Ocon and Gasly at Alpine, 2023 and 2024. Same chassis, same engine, same two Canadian GPs. Two very different result columns.

What the number is, and what it isn't

A points finish at the Canadian Grand Prix means classified inside the top ten. Ocon has done it six times in six tries: P6 in 2017, P9 in 2018, P6 in 2022, P8 in 2023, P10 in 2024, P9 in 2025. He has done it in a Force India, then an Alpine, then a Haas, with no retirements at any of them. Of the 21 drivers on the 2026 grid who have ever raced in Montréal, nobody else has a clean record.

Three obvious objections. Hamilton scores more, which he does: 236 career points at Canada to Ocon's 25, off the back of 16 starts and a stack of wins. That is a different stat. Six is a small sample, which it is: one rough weekend in June and the run is over, so 6/6 is a streak to watch rather than a settled rate. And the car doesn't explain it. Pierre Gasly was Ocon's teammate at Alpine for both the 2023 and 2024 Canadian GPs in the same chassis, and only 2/6 of his Canada starts have ever scored.

Why it counts

Canada is the circuit that breaks weekends. The Wall of Champions. Late-race rain. Safety cars that rearrange the order at lap 50. Just finishing in Montréal is hard. Finishing inside the top ten six races in a row, across three teams and a regulation change, is the sort of run that ends the next time someone gets punted at the hairpin.

What to watch in 2026

The Canadian GP is round 5 of the season. A seventh straight points finish extends the run. Anything else stops it. The table above updates the day after.
