MONTRÉAL CANADA
First Grand Prix The perfect blend of urban living and 1961 Number of Laps authenticity, Montréal is one of the world’s 70 most liveable cities... Circuit Length 4.361km
A mix of preserved history and unique treasures such as Jean-Talon Market, one of North America’s oldest and grandest, Montréal takes its name from Mont-Royal, the triple-peaked hill located at the city’s heart.
Famed for its multiculturalism, walking through the cobbled streets of Old Montréal will transcend you back into centuries past. From horse-drawn carriages, to the wonderful, romantic old-fashioned architecture of City Hall Building and the public amphitheaters of Place Jacques-Cartier and Place d’Armes, Montréal is the perfect destination to couple with your race weekend at the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. You will be treated to mild weather of early summer during your stay, with French-style delicacies and local bars with exceptional mixologists all within walking distance.
A staple of the Formula 1 calendar since 1978, few events capture the imagination like the Canadian Grand Prix do. Be there in 2019 with F1 Experiences, The Official Experience, Hospitality and Travel Programme of Formula 1, with access including a meet-and-greet with an F1 Legend, Paddock Club Reception, Exclusive Pit Lane Walks and more!

25 CANADIAN GRAND PRIX
JACQUES VILLENEUVE
Active Years 1996 - 2006 Like Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve is another second-generation Grand Prix driver who escaped the long shadow of a famous father, Gilles, to become World Champion through his own efforts Nationality Canadian and on his own terms. He claims he was always going to follow in his father's footsteps, though Jacques was just 11 years old when Gilles was killed in 1982. World Championship 1997 Brought up in Monaco rather than his native Canada, Villeneuve learned his craft in F3 in Italy and Japan before moving Stateside and the American Formula Atlantic championship. After graduating to Indycar in 1994, Villeneuve produced a promising season, which was followed by a superb one in 1995. He took victory in the Indianapolis 500 as well as the Indycar championship. This, together with the desire by F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone to see an 'American' driver in F1, eased him straight into the top Grand Prix team in the business for 1996.
After putting his Williams on pole position for his F1 debut, Villeneuve scored three wins and took the championship battle with teammate Damon Hill down to the wire. At Estoril he also earned the ultimate respect of the F1 world by doing the unthinkable - passing Michael Schumacher round the outside. Credentials thus established, Villeneuve headed into 1997 looking to go one better than his '96 runner-up position. After beginning the year strongly, he suffered some midseason 'wobbles' - crashing out of the lead in Canada through pure driving error, being off the pace in both France and Germany - which was all the inspired Schumacher needed to take the lead of the series. A strong fight back by Williams and Villeneuve looked like reaping its reward though, until the penultimate round in Japan where Villeneuve was suspended for a practice yellow flag infringement - his fourth of the season - and Schumacher won.
All of which left Villeneuve virtually neck and neck with the German for a dramatic showdown at Jerez for the European Grand Prix. Though Schumacher made the early running, after both drivers had made their routine stops, Jacques began to hunt the Ferrari down. Once it was in his sights, he decided to surprise Schumacher by diving for the inside from a long way back. It was a beautiful move and Schumacher indeed was surprised. When he realized his error he turned into the Williams but succeeded only in putting himself into the gravel trap and out of the race. Villeneuve continued in the lead and on the last lap allowed the McLarens of Hakkinen and Coulthard to overtake him. His championship was thus secure and had been won the hard way.
