Canadian Grand Prix

The Formula 1 season continues with the Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. This year, the race will take place in an early-season slot directly after the Miami Grand Prix. This change marks a significant shift in the calendar as Formula 1 continues to optimize regionalization and reduce long-haul travel.

For the first time, the championship will remain in North America for back-to-back race weekends, moving from Miami to Montreal instead of immediately returning to Europe. This reduces unnecessary transatlantic freight movements and improves logistical efficiency overall. As the Official Logistics Partner, DHL will coordinate the transport of approximately 1,200 tons of freight, using a combination of air, sea and road solutions to ensure everything arrives on time.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, located on Île Notre-Dame, remains one of the most distinctive venues on the calendar. With its mix of long straights, heavy braking zones, and the iconic “Wall of Champions,” the track continues to reward precision and top speed equally.

After the Montreal race, Formula 1 transitions to the European phase of the season, where a challenging series of races awaits. This marks a clear shift from the newly structured North American opening block to the traditional summer stretch in Europe.
