Canadian Grand Prix track - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

Named for the only Canadian in F1 history to win his home Grand Prix, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a fast course with plenty of high-speed straights and challenging corners.

It has four chicanes, three DRS zones, one famous hairpin and the first turn, which is also the first of two turns that form the Senna S after the late F1 legend Ayrton Senna, is something close to a hairpin.
