Formula 1 swings back to the American continent, arriving in Montreal, Canada to give us an exciting race on Sunday, June 19th at the F1 Grand Prix Du Canada.
The Canadian Grand Prix is an annual motor racing event held since 1961.
It has been part of the Formula One World Championship since 1967.
It was first staged at Mosport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, before alternating between Mosport and Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, after Formula One took over the event.
After 1971, safety concerns led to the Grand Prix moving permanently to Mosport.
In 1978, after similar safety concerns with Mosport, the Canadian Grand Prix moved to its current home at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Notre Dame Island in Montreal.
In 2005, it was the most-watched Formula One Grand Prix in the world.
The race was also the third most-watched sporting event worldwide, behind the first place Super Bowl XXXIX and the UEFA Champions League Final.
Preceding the qualifying session in 2014, the Grand Prix organizers announced they had agreed to a 10-year extension to keep the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve through 2024.
The 2020 and 2021 events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so, to say the race is highly anticipated would be an understatement, as Montreal is a venue that the teams enjoy going to, and the fans in Canada are anxious — if not robustly — awaiting its return.

F1 Canadian Grand Prix Race Preview and Betting Picks
Because it has been so long since the series competed at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, and the cars and tires have changed so much, the practice sessions will be key for all the teams.
The barricade walls are close to the track, particularly the infamous “Wall of Champions” that has collected three F1 World Champions as well as numerous other drivers.
There is little area for runoff, so a stranded car may produce a safety car period — or at least a virtual safety car.
Aside from the “Wall of Champions,” the circuit is also famous for its Turn 10 hairpin and the opening Turns of 1-2 that are called the “Senna S.”
Pirelli is expected to bring the softest tires they have: The hard C3 “Whites,” the medium C4 “Yellows” and the soft C5 “Reds.”
The 2019 race saw a one-stop strategy, so it will be interesting to see through the practice sessions if teams consider something else.
