Canada Grand Prix circuit
The 2024 Canadian Grand Prix takes place over 70 laps of the 4.361-kilometre Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec.
Strikingly set on an island in the middle St Lawrence River, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is named for Canada's most famous racing driver and father of 1997 world champion Jacques.
The regular tight turns and chicanes don't stop the Canada Grand Prix from being one of the season's fastest. The drivers will be doing their best to avoid being the next victim of the so-called 'Wall of Champions' — the wall on the very last turn that has seen the likes of Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel all crash in to it over the years. Welcome to Quebec!
Canada Grand Prix FAQ
So, that's how to watch the Canadian Grand Prix and all the race timings sorted. Now here's an F1 Canada FAQ for everything else you want to know about the upcoming race.
When is the next race?
The 2024 Spanish GP follows the Canadian GP. There's another two-week gap between race weekends, with the next Grand Prix taking place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain on Sunday, June 23.
Who won the 2023 Canada Grand Prix?
Red Bull's Max Verstappen won the 2023 Canadian GP, finishing with a time of 1:33:58.348.
Verstappen dominated the weekend, starting on pole position and never relinquishing his lead until the checkered flag. Former world champions Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton placed second and third, with the dual Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. behind them.
What is the lap record at Canada Grand Prix?
Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas set the record lap at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2019 with a time of 1:13.078 .
Canada Grand Prix winners
The Canadian Grand Prix has been held since 1961 and so has enjoyed a rich history before Max Verstappen's back-to-back wins in 2022 and 2023.
In 2019, Lewis Hamilton matched Michael Schumacher's record of seven Canadian GP victories. Outside of those two legends of the sport, only Brazilian Nelson Piquet has managed to win here more than twice — he won it on three occasions.
Gilles Villeneuve is the only Canadian to win the home Grand Prix north of the border — a feat that was beyond his son Jacques — hence why the circuit is now named after him.
