McLaren Racing F1 – “Montreal is a great city and there’s always a brilliant atmosphere”

Our attempts to follow in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg and travel around the world in 80 days are well in motion, as we head straight from Azerbaijan to Canada.

And although we’ve been to Montreal on many an occasion before, it will feel like a new adventure after three years away from the land of maple syrup and motorsport.

Ahead of boarding the plane for the 8,924km trip across the Atlantic from Europe to North America through eight time zones, we wanted to ensure our fellow explorers were up to scratch for our next great quest.

ANDREAS SEIDL

“We’re looking forward to going back to Canada after a two-year hiatus. The track is a favourite of lots of the drivers and it will be great to see the Canadian fans again, we felt an incredible amount of support there in 2019.

“It will be interesting to see how our cars perform on the track. It’s a fast circuit with a few chicanes and the infamous wall of champions, all of which allows for some good overtaking opportunities and hopefully an exciting race.

“It’s important for the team to stay focused as we head into the second half of a double header so let’s keep pushing!”

What the stats say

We may not have been to Canada since 2019, but with our first Canadian Grand Prix win dating back to 1968 through Denny Hulme, there was no need to scrape the barrel for this week’s statistical search.

There’s been a further 12 wins since 1968, making us the most successful team in the event ahead of Ferrari, who have one fewer. Nine of our 13 wins have been at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, which has hosted the Canadian GP since 1978.

The most recent of those was a decade ago, when Lewis Hamilton won from second, making it three wins in three years for the team at Canada. One of the most memorable races of recent times took place the year prior, with Jenson Button finishing first in a Canadian Grand Prix that lasted more than four hours.
