Formula 1 heads to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix as Max Verstappen looks to equal Ayrton Senna's tally of 41 wins.
Victory for either Verstappen or Sergio Perez would also be Red Bull's 100th in F1, so it could be a landmark weekend for the Milton Keynes-based team.
Mercedes, Aston Martin and Ferrari will be keen to delay the Red Bull party though and Canada has a habit of throwing up some incredible moments.
In 2019, Sebastian Vettel was controversially given a five-second time penalty for re-joining the track unsafely when cutting the second chicane, handing the win to Lewis Hamilton.
Daniel Ricciardo won his maiden race in a classic 2014 Canadian GP and who can forget 2011, when Jenson Button's remarkable performance saw him take victory on the last lap in arguably the race of the century.
The Wall of Champions hasn't claimed too many drivers in recent years, but the 1999 race will always be remembered for world champions Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, and Jacques Villeneuve hitting the wall on the exit of the last corner.
Twelve months ago, Fernando Alonso had a stunning qualifying to line up on the front row of the grid alongside Verstappen in Montreal and history could repeat itself this weekend.
Verstappen is 53 points ahead of Red Bull team-mate Perez in the drivers' championship, with Alonso another 18 points further back.
Every session from Montreal is live on Sky Sports F1.
