GRANDSTAND 1

Facing the pits and starting grid In the western part of the circuit, the F1 teams’ pit-stalls are a scene of intense and frenzied activity during practice, qualifying and the race as cars enter the pits area. From ultra-comfortable seats, you’ll also see the formation of the starting grid, the pre-race ceremonies and the final preparations in the half-hour before the start of the Grand Prix. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.

GRANDSTAND 11 & 12

At Senna corner In the western part of the circuit, a few hundred yards past the startline, drivers must negotiate one of the most spectacular and legendary series of corners in the entire world championship: intense braking at the end of the straight, a left-hand corner, followed immediately by a hairpin, out of which they accelerate up towards a chicane. It’s often the scene of spectacular manoeuvres and incidents likely to change the course of the event. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.

GRANDSTAND 15, 21, LANCE STROLL & 34

At the Hairpin In the eastern part of the circuit, a short walk from the Cosmos bridge and metro station, the Hairpin offers great passing opportunities and is also notable for its piercing sounds as the F1 cars slow down at the entrance to the corner and then accelerate again as they exit onto Casino straight. A true mechanical symphony as the speeds go from 290 to 60 km/h. Your seat in this grandstand is also just a short distance from a visit to the support race paddock. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times.

GRANDSTAND 31

At the bridge chicane In the northern part of the circuit, a short walk across the Cosmos bridge from the metro station, this sequence again requires hard braking (from 300 to 110 km/h) under the bridge to negotiate the first right-hand corner over the curbs and then to resume the racing line for the left-hander which follows immediately. No rest for the drivers. A giant screen allows you to follow the action at all times. There’s also plenty of souvenir shops nearby as well as a footbridge to the interior of the circuit to occupy any breaks in the on-track action.

FAMILY GRANDSTAND

At the Canada Pavilion On the inside part of the track, facing a chicane in the north-west portion of Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, this grandstand offers a view of the drivers as they make their way around turns 6 and 7, a left-right combination. Drivers go around these two corners at about 100 kph. Children 15 and under are admitted free of charge when accompanied by an adult, and adults over the age of 65 get to enjoy the race for special rate. The Grandstand is located in the Family Zone that offers attractions specially geared toward families and food stands that suit their needs.
