Round seven of the season sees Formula One head to the city of Montreal and the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the 2.7 mile street style circuit is on an island in the middle of the St Lawrence Seaway has provided many dramas over the years because of the narrow street style.<\/p>\n

The circuit gives drivers better overtaking opportunities than most street circuits, as the track is about the normal width of a normal circuit. Montreal is well known for the final corner known as\u00a0 the Wall of Champions. The name emerged in 1999 after Villeneuve son Jacques, Michael Schumacher both crashed into the wall during.<\/p>\n

This circuit has thrown up some surprises including the only win for Sabuer with Robert Kubica in 2008, but that maybe due to the retirements of Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton after they collided in the pit lane. Hamilton has been king here through-out his career with five wins and can he make it six and three back to back wins in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Montreal was also the setting for the longest Grand Prix in 2011, wet weather caused lengthy delays. Button started from fourth behind his team-mate Lewis Hamilton but the two made contact on the start finish straight, dropping him to last. Button then was last but miraculously was running second when Sebastian Vettel made a mistake on the last lap of the race.<\/p>\n

So 2017 with Lance Stroll on the grid the first Canadian in a decade can Montreal deliver another cracker this season?<\/p>\n
