Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve

Summary

The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montréal is a balanced circuit circling Notre Dame Island, to the east of the main Montréal Island. With tight barriers and a mix of technical and high speed action, Montréal can be a challenging track and crashes are a real risk.

Suggested Setup

Suggested car setup and attribute focus for Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve:

  1. Low speed cornering is crucial
  2. Focusing on acceleration, medium speed cornering and DRS effectiveness are also recommended
  3. Favours cars with balanced stats

Tips & Tricks

Featuring some complex features and tight track space, Team Principals will need to closely monitor their drivers as they battle around Montréal or they might fall victim to a collision.

  1. Most race strategies will call for a single pit and recommend opening on soft or medium tyres to set the pace before changing to hards. With a high chance of a safety car, ambitious Team Principals may want to consider a second pit and a change to softs if luck is on their side.
  2. Weather in Montréal can be inclement, so make sure to keep an eye on the forecast and make a switch to inters during a scheduled pit if rain seems likely.
  3. In addition to its chicanes and hairpin turns, Montréal features three DRS zones so it is critical that Team Principals make careful judgements on when to push.

2024 Race Replay

Sargeant has crashed and there's a safety car here in Montréal. RB has a strong position on track, but clever tactics will be required to make that advantage last. The track is currently dry, but with everyone on inters and rain once again imminent, the decisions made right now will affect the rest of the race. Can RB get a double-points finish here in Canada?
