Montréal. A melting-pot of Anglo-Canadian reserve and niceness with French-Canadian verve, love of the dramatic and fierce pride. A beautiful city that leaves an impression on all who live and travel there.
And home of one of the greatest, best-loved circuits on the F1 calendar.
Named for the greatest Canadian ever to strap his arse to the rocket ship with wheels that is a Formula 1 Car, Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve snakes sinuously around the glorious setting of the Ile Notre-Dame, a man-made island in the St Lawrence River. It's not always been the host of the Canadian GP, with the abomination of Toronto, Mosport Park, and also Mont-Tremblant also holding the race since the first GP was run in the country in 1968.
