Monaco, Monte-Carlo - May 25th - 27th - 2001


About the Canadian GP

CART and NASCAR may rule North America, but Formula One is still very important to millions of Canadians, who turn up to see local hero Jacques Villeneuve race on the circuit named after his outstanding father. There are usually a high number of Ferrari fans present, and the enthusiasm for the event in general is felt in the air. The circuit itself has changed little over the years, apart from a range of cosmetic modifications designed to improve safety. Weather is normally warm and sunny, but rain is not uncommon either. Last year it was wet, with Michael Schumacher taking the win ahead of his team-mate Rubens Barrichello.

Set up

Montreal’s overall high-speed qualities mean that low to medium downforce levels are required in set-up.
