The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve sits on the artificial Île Notre-Dame island in the St. Lawrence River, pairing long full-throttle straights with one of Formula 1's heaviest braking zones at the famous hairpin. The notorious Wall of Champions at the exit of the final chicane has ended the races of multiple world champions and remains a constant threat.
