The Canadian Grand Prix: Formula 1 has announced that the Canadian Grand Prix will race into its seventh decade following a new four-year agreement with the Promoter and the Governments of Canada and Quebec, that will see the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal remain on the calendar through to 2035.
The Canadian Grand Prix is the oldest Formula 1 race held outside Europe, with the 54th edition taking place recently since its inaugural run in 1967. The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, named after legendary Canadian F1 driver Gilles Villeneuve, became the permanent host in 1978 and is loved by drivers and fans alike for its heavy-braking chicanes, the hairpin, and the Wall of Champions.
Four current drivers - George Russell, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and Fernando Alonso - have all claimed victory at the 4.36 km circuit. Hamilton and Michael Schumacher share the record for most wins at the venue (seven each).
