Type

Circuit Year
1978
Montreal's circuit on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence River is named after F1 legend Gilles Villeneuve, and Canadians take that seriously.
This track's been delivering absolute carnage since 1978—tight corners, heavy braking zones, and walls waiting to punish mistakes. It's a driver's circuit that rewards bravery and punishes hesitation hard.
The Grand Prix du Canada is earlier in 2026, and Montreal's French-Canadian passion makes it an electric atmosphere.
Fans here know racing inside and out, and they're incredibly vocal. Expect contact, expect drama, expect Canada to bring the energy.
This isn't a boring parade lap—it's controlled chaos where champions prove themselves.
