MONTREAL    CANADA


Built on an Island in the St Lawrence seaway, The Circuit de Gilles
Villeneuve has hosted the Canadian Grand Prix since 1977. The circuit is named after legendary Ferrari ace Gilles Villeneuve who created history by becoming the first Canadian to win a world championship grand prix at his home track in 1978. Two-years later saw Frank Williams take his first word championship as hard-charging Aussie
Alan Jones took the spoils.

The circuit has also witnessed some embarrassing failures. Nigel Mansell was waving to the crowd while leading the final lap of the 1991 race when his gearbox packed up. Nelson Piquet came through to take the final victory of his illustrious career.

Mansell again blew it a year later after proving too impatient when
trying to pass Ayrton Senna. The 1995 race was a red-letter day for Jean Alesi who took an emotional first grand prix win after Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher faltered.
