Where does the Canadian Grand Prix take place?

The Canadian Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal. It first hosted the Grand Prix in 1978 and is a fast, low-downforce circuit. It is quite a stop-start track with lots of heavy-breaking chicanes and a famous hairpin to get the anchors working.

Out of the corners, the track is quick and flowing while the most iconic piece of the circuit comes right at the end of the lap: the Wall of Champions.
