The first taste of Formula 1 in Europe ended with the Monaco Grand Prix, won by host Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari. Now the world champion Circus is ready to cross the Atlantic Ocean again and return to America and contest the Canadian Grand Prix, which will also be held on the semi-permanent circuit of Montreal.
Gilles Villeneuve is ready for another chapter of the 2024 Formula 1 season. A season so far very different from that of last year, with three teams already capable of obtaining at least one success (while last year, at this point in the season, it was the only Red Bull to triumph).
Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren, the trio of wonders, the trio of the moment. They are the ones who, over the last 2 months, have competed for victories in the Grand Prix. 5 for Max Verstappen and Red Bull, one each for Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, therefore two for Ferrari, but also the first career victory for Lando Norris, who gave McLaren the first joy after almost 3 years of abstinence.

Now we start again – from scratch to understand who will be the best in Canada. A circuit, that of Montreal, profoundly different from that of the Principality of Monaco: long straights, many overtaking possibilities and sky-high unpredictability, not to mention the weather and the treacherous parts such as the curbs and chicanes which, often, gave rise to crashes. sensational scene.
But it’s not just the fight for the top. Mercedes and Aston Martin remain in search of themselves, while Racing Bulls will present themselves with increasingly higher ambitions after the improvements implemented over the last few weeks. And then, as usual, there is the fight to leave the last positions of the Drivers’ classification. In short, there are all the ingredients to stay glued to the TV from Friday until the last lap on Sunday.
