The 2025 Formula 1 season heads to the iconic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the Canadian Grand Prix, Round 10 of the championship, from June 13-15. Known for its high-speed straights, heavy braking zones, and the infamous Wall of Champions, the track promises thrilling action.

Set on Notre Dame Island, this circuit’s been delivering thrills since 1978. Legends like Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have each conquered it seven times, and Ferrari’s nabbed 14 wins here. With slippery tarmac and tricky spots like the Senna ‘S’ curve and the Turn 10 Hairpin, drivers need to bring their A-game.

Fresh off a dramatic Spanish Grand Prix, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri is the man to beat, leading the championship by 10 points over teammate Lando Norris. Max Verstappen’s got work to do, sitting 49 points back and carrying 11 penalty points after a rough weekend in Spain. One more slip-up could see him banned for a race, so he’s got to keep it clean in Canada and Austria.
