Montreal Always Delivers Drama
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has long been one of the most unpredictable tracks in motorsports, blending long straights with tight braking zones and notoriously difficult walls that punish even the smallest mistakes.
With Sprint points also available this weekend, there’s even more at stake than usual as the championship battle continues tightening heading into the summer stretch of the season.
And for the first time in years, it feels like multiple teams enter the weekend believing they can win.
