Daniel Ricciardo (2014), Kimi Raikkonen (2005) and Sebastian Vettel (2013, 2018) have also won in Canada. Ricciardo's first win in F1 was in Montreal. Raikkonen shares the record for fastest laps in Canada (four) with Schumacher. The circuit is named after late Ferrari great Gilles Villeneuve. Ferrari have won 12 times in Canada, with seven poles and nine fastest laps.

The rain-hit Canadian Grand Prix of 2011 was Formula One's longest race, lasting four hours, four minutes and 39.537 seconds. The safety car was deployed six times, another record. The circuit is particularly tough on brakes.

Racing Point are Canadian owned and have the only current Canadian F1 race driver in Lance Stroll. -
