Canadian Grand Prix
Encyclopedia
The Canadian Grand Prix (known in French
as the Grand Prix du Canada), abbreviated as gpc, is an annual auto race
held in Canada
starting in 1961. It has been part of the Formula One World Championship
since 1967. It was first staged at Mosport
Park in Bowmanville, Ontario
as a sports car
event before it alternated 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 the Canadian Grand Prix moved to its current home on Île Notre-Dame
in Montreal
.
In 2005, the Canadian Grand Prix was the most watched Formula One GP 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
.
The Canadian Grand Prix was not included in the Formula 1 calendar. On 27 November 2009 it was reported the race could return in and the 2010 edition
then took place on June 13.
as well as Formula One drivers participated in the event. For the first five years, the event would be won by drivers with either prior Formula One experience, or would enter the championship after winning the Canadian Grand Prix. In 1966 the Canadian-American Challenge Cup ran the event, with American Mark Donohue
winning. Formula One took over the following year, although the CSCC and Can-Am series continued to compete at Mosport in their own events.
The first winner in Montreal was Quebec
native Gilles Villeneuve
who died in 1982 on the final qualifying lap for the Belgian Grand Prix
. A few weeks after his death, the race course in Montreal was named Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
after him. Gilles Villeneuve was one of the first inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame
, and the only Canadian winner at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
The 1982 Canadian Grand Prix
, in the shadow of the death of Villeneuve a month earlier, saw another accident when Villeneuve's teammate Didier Pironi
stalled on the grid. Raul Boesel
struck the stationary vehicle, and Riccardo Paletti
then struck the rear of Pironi's Ferrari. Pironi and F1 doctor Sid Watkins
came to Paletti's aid to try to extract him from his car, which briefly caught fire. After a half hour, Paletti was extracted and flown to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
In , the race was not held due to sponsorship dispute between two local breweries, Labatt and Molson
. During the break the track was modified, and starting line moved to its current position.
Ferrari's
Jean Alesi
won the 1995 edition
, which occurred on his 31st birthday and which would be the only win of his career. Alesi had inherited the lead when Michael Schumacher
pitted with electrical problems and Damon Hill
's hydraulics failed. the victory was a popular one for Alesi, particularly after several unrewarded drives the year before, namely in Italy
. Alesi's win at Montreal was voted the most popular race victory of the season by many, as it was the number 27 Ferrari—once belonging to the famous Gilles Villeneuve
at his much loved home Grand Prix. Schumacher gave Alesi a lift back to the pits after Alesi's car ran out of fuel just before the Pits Hairpin.
The 1997 Canadian Grand Prix
was stopped early due to a crash involving Olivier Panis
. He was sidelined for nine races and some see it as a turning point in the career of the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix
winner.
In 2001
, there was the first sibling 1–2 finish in the history of Formula 1, as Ralf
and Michael Schumacher
topped the podium. The Schumacher brothers would finish 1–2 in the 2003 edition as well. 2001 was also noted for Jean Alesi
achieving Prost's
best finish of the season; he celebrated his fifth place by doing several donuts
in his vehicle, and throwing his helmet into the crowd.
The 2007 race
was the site of rookie Lewis Hamilton
's first win. On lap 67, Takuma Sato
overtook McLaren-Mercedes's Fernando Alonso
, to cheers around the circuit, just after overtaking Ralf Schumacher
and having overtaken Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen
earlier in the race. The race saw Sato move from the middle of the grid to the back of the pack and to a high of fifth before a pit-stop error caused him to move back to eleventh. Sato fought up 5 places in the field in the last 15 laps to finish sixth. Sato was voted "Driver of the Day" on the ITV
website over Lewis Hamilton's first win. The race also saw a horrific incident involving Robert Kubica
(who went on to win the race the following season
).
In the weeks leading up the Grand Prix, city officials trap as many groundhogs as they can in and around the race course, and transport the animals to nearby Ile Ste-Helene. Nonetheless, in 2007, a groundhog disrupted the practice session of Ralf Schumacher
. On race day itself, Anthony Davidson
had been running in third until he struck a groundhog, initially thought to be a beaver, which forced him to pit and repair the damage to his front wing. In 2008, a groundhog crossed the track at the hairpin in the 2nd practice session but luckily did not disrupt the session.
, Michael Schumacher
and Jacques Villeneuve
all crashed into the same wall which had the slogan Bienvenue au Québec (Welcome to Quebec in English) on it. The wall became ironically known as the "Wall of Champions". The wall also was involved in a crash with Ricardo Zonta
, who was, at the time, the reigning FIA GT
sports car
champion. In recent years, GP2
Champion Nico Rosberg
and CART
Champion Juan Pablo Montoya
have also fallen victim to the wall. In 2011 Friday practice, the wall claimed reigning F1 champion Sebastian Vettel
, although arguably this was avoidable, whilst the rumble strip claimed the pride of a race marshal who was running to the scene of the accident.
Full list of victims:
, which left the Montreal race off the list for the first time since 1987
. In the provisional 2009 schedule released in June 2008, the Canadian Grand Prix was to have been held on June 7, a date taken by the 2009 Turkish Grand Prix
in the revised schedule.
Since the US Grand Prix was dropped after 2007, this means that in 2009 no Formula One race was held in North America for the first time since 1958. (The American Indianapolis 500
formed part of the FIA World Drivers' Championship from 1950 to 1960, but was not run to Formula One regulations and only very rarely entered by regular championship competitors.)
During the Australian Grand Prix, reports surfaced that the Canadian Grand Prix could return during the 2009 season in the event that the race circuit in Abu Dhabi was not ready in time. On April 26, 2009, Speed reported Bernie Ecclestone
as saying the FIA was negotiating a return of the Canadian Grand Prix for the 2010 season, provided upgrades to the circuit are completed.
On August 29, 2009, the BBC reported the provisional schedule for the 2010 season
, which had both the Canadian and British Grand Prix marked down as "provisional". The Canadian GP was scheduled for June 6. The 2010 Canadian Grand Prix was eventually run in Montreal on June 13, 2010.
On November 27, 2009, Quebec's officials and Canadian Grand Prix organizers announced they have reached a settlement with Formula One Administration and signed a new five-year contract spanning the 2010-2014 seasons. Under the five-year agreement, the governments will pay 15 million Canadian dollars a year to host the race, much less than the 35 million a year Ecclestone initially asked for.
Because of tobacco
legislation which prohibited further such sponsorship, new venues, and a maximum of 17 races on the schedule, the Canadian Grand Prix was initially removed from the F1 schedule. However, Canadian officials were able to raise enough money to keep a Grand Prix race, with the FIA allowing expansion to an 18 race schedule.
