The key figures of the Canadian Grand Prix

3:

It is the number of different tracks for a Canadian Grand Prix. The first edition was held at Mosport Park, and between 1961 and 1977, this circuit hosted the F1 race 14 times. Two stages were played at the Mont-Tremblant circuit in 1968 and 1970. It wasn’t until 1978 that the first race took place on Île Notre-Dame with Gilles Villeneuve winning in front of his fans.

7:

The two most successful drivers in Canada are, as often, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. When it comes to pole positions, they are equally matched with 6 each, as both are seven-time world champions. However, in terms of podium finishes, the advantage goes to the Ferrari driver with 12 compared to 9 for Hamilton.

1’10″240:

While in 2019 we mainly remember the battle between Vettel and Hamilton, we often forget the German driver’s pole position. Thanks to a masterful lap in 1’10″240, the German driver snatched first place from Lewis Hamilton’s grasp. Can Max Verstappen dethrone Vettel with his powerful DRS?

2:

This is the number of DRS detection zones. Like in Mexico, one detection zone is used for two straight lines. Either to have more overtaking opportunities, or to fly away with a good strategy.

14:

With 14 turns, 8 to the right and 6 to the left, the Gilles Villeneuve track has a straight line of 1064 meters, which is almost 1/4 of the circuit, which measures 4.361 km.

20/41:

This is the number of polemen who won the race. This makes a conversion rate from pole position to victory of around 48%.

212:

This is the average speed in km/h on the circuit alternating slow turns and long straight lines.

417:

This is the length of the pit lane, which is one of the shortest pit lanes on the calendar, making pit stops relatively inexpensive.
