The Montreal Formula 1 circuit, later named after Canadian Formula 1 legend Gilles Villeneuve, has already been driven 40 times.

Here are a few hits:

The distance:

Montreal - It's a fast track with 14 turns over 4.361 kilometers.

Fast straights, chicanes, hairpin bends - everything is included.

The drivers like the course with a particularly famous section: The so-called "Wall of Champions".

Anyone who strays even a little from the ideal line in turn 13 has to be prepared for contact with others, which can quickly lead to a premature end.

The location:

The course is located on the island of Notre Dame, in the middle of the imposing St. Lawrence River.

The island was built in the 1960s for the Expo at that time.

A few “clever people” later came up with the idea of ​​turning the streets into a racetrack, writes Formula 1.

What also distinguishes Montréal on the Grand Prix weekend: The city lives Formula 1. Pubs are decorated, there is a PS party.

Especially after there was no Canada race in 2020 and 2021 due to the corona pandemic.

This is how it went last time:

The picture has long been one of the legendary Formula 1 in Canada.

Sebastian Vettel is the first to be flagged down - at that time still in a Ferrari.

But he is not the winner of the 2019 race.

Vettel gets a five-second penalty for leaving the track and coming back onto the course dangerously, according to the race stewards.

The penalty is enough for Lewis Hamilton to ultimately win in the Mercedes, it is the seventh victory for the Brit in Montréal.

Only Michael Schumacher won there that often.

After Vettel and Hamilton had parked their cars, the fully served Vettel simply swapped the number 2 and number 1 signs
