      Sorry but canada is not a great country. A dictator pretending to be for freedom while banning guns and jailing people for saying 'the wrong' things. And denying people to even leave or have a job if they dont take a vaccine. But the track is alright

    As a Canadian and specifically a Montrealer, it warms my heart to hear the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve get rated so highly. I only got converted to F1 in 2019 so I've only watched one Canadian GP, so I'm glad to know that it has a reputation internationally as a classic!
    Also for what it's worth, I definitely consider it to be a permanent track instead of a street course, considering the roads aren't public roads per se as much as they're just used for average joes who want to drive around the circuit lol - they don't even take the kerbs off during the year.

    Circuit Villeneuve is one of those tracks where, if you only look at the map, you go "what? That's it?" But the actual flow of the track, and the racing it produces, are far beyond how it appears at a glance. Some tracks are just like that.

    It's a really good track on a very nice setting but there has been a fair amount of average races there too. Just a bit like Baku last week, which got everyone naturally hyped, having great races is not always dependent on how good a circuit is.
    That said, very nice to have Canada back for sure.

    The first full F1 race I remember watching on TV was the 1981 Canadian Grand Prix. I had seem bits of races before, and I followed it a bit in magazines, but this was my big intro. It rained, a Ligier with a Matra V12 won, Gilles wrecked his car and kept on racing with no front end..and finished third! It was Gilles' last Canadian Grand Prix...the next year it was named after him after he died....and eerily, the second death of the season happened at the start of that race, a horrible season that was.

    Canada was the first f1 race i ever watched and it was the first track I played on an f1 game which was the awful 2014 game. This track is a race I try and watch every year I normally am busy so I can’t watch races definitely a top 5 circuit in f1 always a highlight of the season type of race
