Circuit information
Taking place at the storied Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, the Canadian Grand Prix was first held in 1978 and has held 48 F1 races.
The circuit is 4.361km long, and the race lasts 70 laps.
It is a fast-paced and low-downforce circuit with 14 corners, including many heavy-breaking zones where drivers will be able to recharge their battery.
After upgrades at the Miami Grand Prix allowed a closing of the gap between the top teams, more upgrades in Canada could see the field bunch up further, providing better battles and more exciting racing.
