F1 2023
Here’s a look at the 2023 Canadian GP preview, schedule, live stream details and our predictions for the weekend in Montreal
The 2023 F1 season has got off to a sensational start and we are now all set for a resumption in action following a 14-day gap. F1 teams will head out to Canada for the Canadian Grand Prix, scheduled to take place from 16th June to 18th June. The Canadian GP will take place at the iconic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.
This is set to be the 58th edition of the Canadian Grand Prix. The Canadian GP has been a part of the Formula One World Championship since 1967. The home of this Grand Prix in the modern era has been the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Notre Dame Island in Montreal. It is an FIA Grade 1 licensed circuit.
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is 4.361 km long comprising a total of 14 turns. The circuit has a total crowd capacity of 1,00,000 making it a spectacle on the F1 calendar. Barriers run close to the circuit and many experienced drivers have been caught out by them. A particularly famous part of the circuit is the wall on the outside of the exit of the final chicane before the start/finish straight. Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher are the most successful drivers at the Canadian GP – both having won 7 titles each. Ferrari are the most successful constructors at the Canadian GP with 14 wins.

Red Bull look invincible at the moment and they started the season with a bang. They didn’t have the perfect Spanish GP last weekend but Verstappen notched up valuable points for the team by finishing on top of the podium. Other teams have a lot of catch up to do and the reigning champions are expected to dominate the grid once again. However, do keep your eyes on Lewis Hamilton, who has a great record at this circuit. P1 for Verstappen, P2 for Hamilton and P3 for Alonso is our prediction for the weekend.
