What time is the 2024 Canadian GP? | Schedule for Montreal F1 weekend at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Full schedule for Montreal F1 weekend at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada.

As the 2024 Formula 1 campaign progresses, teams and drivers prepare to head to the scenic Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix. Scheduled for Sunday, June 9, the race promises to deliver high-speed action and drama, typical of what fans have come to expect from this celebrated circuit.

Situated on the man-made Île Notre-Dame in Montreal, Quebec, the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve stretches over 4.361 kilometres and features a mix of slow corners and high-speed straights, culminating in a challenging race environment. This track is notorious for its ‘Wall of Champions,’ a barrier so named after claiming the cars of several world champions. The circuit’s layout allows for dramatic overtaking and thrilling wheel-to-wheel battles, making the Canadian Grand Prix one of the most exciting events on the F1 calendar.

Unlike some of the other races this season, the Canadian Grand Prix will stick to the traditional race weekend format, eschewing the Sprint format. This standard format includes two practice sessions on Friday, a third practice session on Saturday morning, followed by the all-important qualifying session in the afternoon to determine the grid for Sunday’s race. This format allows teams and drivers to thoroughly prepare through practice, fine-tuning their setups for both qualifying and the race.

The action kicks off on Friday, June 7, with the first practice session (FP1) providing the teams their first taste of the track conditions. Later in the day, the second practice session (FP2) gives teams a chance to work on race simulations and longer runs to gauge tire wear and fuel consumption.

On Saturday, June 8, the third and final practice session (FP3) is the last hour of track time, crucial for teams to make any last-minute adjustments based on the data collected from Friday’s sessions. The climax of Saturday is the qualifying session, where drivers battle for the pole position and a favourable start on the grid for the race day.

Sunday, June 9, is race day. Over the course of 70 laps, drivers will navigate the tight corners and high-speed sections of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, each vying for the prestigious top step on the podium.
