Canada's Grand Prix track is one of the calendar's best venues, not so much for the challenge of the track as for the all-round appeal of the venue.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - named for the late, great Ferrari star - is no huge test for the drivers.

But its combination of straights and slow corners usually provides fast, furious, action-packed racing.

And Montreal, an atmospheric blend of North American and European culture, is a charming and exciting place.
