Montreal skyline reflecting in St. Lawrence River, Quebec

From city streets to racing seats. Canadian Grand Prix 2025

When 20 of the world's fastest cars hit the grid, it is not just racing—it's Formula 1. Precision, risk and ruthless speed define every lap of a sport that's captivated fans since 1950. It has since evolved into a 24-race championship running from March to December. Teams like Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes dominate the grid, while drivers push limits to secure the pole position.

Today, F1 hits the streets of Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix, taking place from June 13 to 15, at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Since moving to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve from Mosport Park in 1978, the race has seen it all—surprise winners, crashes into the Wall of Champions and plenty of wet-weather drama. The track itself is 4.361 kilometres long and demands 70 laps, pushing drivers through 305.27 kilometres of full-throttle sections and tight corners. Built on a man-made island in the St. Lawrence River, it's a circuit that punishes mistakes and rewards bravery. That notorious final corner, the Wall of Champions? It's sent more than one world champion packing. Set against the Montreal skyline, the race continues to be a favourite among drivers and fans alike.
