2018 Formula 1 Grand Prix - Heineken du Canada

  • 6 years ago
From June 8 to 10, Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve will host the 7th race of the 2018 World Formula1 Championship. Named for the legendary Ferrari driver, this circuit celebrate in the 2017 the 50th anniversary of its first Formula1 Canadian GP. The first ten editions were held however at Mosport Park (8) and Mont-Tremblant (2).

The track is located on the Isle of Notre Dame, an artificial island built in 1965 on the Saint Lawrence River as the Montreal underground was being constructed.

Characterized by alternating straightaways, chicanes and hairpin turns, this track is without a doubt the toughest test bench for the braking systems on the single-seaters, which usually show up here with a low aerodynamic load.
