The circuit is characterized by very few fast sections, an extremely narrow carriageway, ten right-hand and nine left-hand corners, some of which - Ste. Devote, Mirabeau, Rascasse and the 180 ° hairpin near the Fairmont Hotel - are part of the story. of Formula 1. It goes without saying that with these characteristics of the track, a good qualifying is essential in Monaco. Last year Charles managed to take pole position but was unable to take off due to a mechanical problem on the car following an accident on Saturday, while Carlos Sainz took second place on the first podium of his adventure with the Scuderia.On the track on Friday.

This weekend sees the second of three rounds of the championship held in the Americas. After the United States Grand Prix, it’s the turn of Mexico which, like the race in Austin, is back on the calendar after a one year absence.The race has always been held in Mexico City, at the same circuit, which over the years has undergone changes to its name and layout. The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is located within the large Magdalena Mixhuca sports complex, not far from the centre of the megalopolis. The track features a long straight in the first sector, while the second is more technical. Before changes introduced in 2015, the final part featured the Peraltada as its last corner, the name meaning ‘raised up’ in Spanish, which had a 10 degree banking. Since the race returned to the calendar after an absence of 23 years, the track has undergone extensive revisions, the most significant being in this final sector. The Peraltada has now been changed into a very slow stadium section, the Foro Sol, which is less demanding in terms of driving, but gives spectators the chance to see the cars close up at low speed. The cars pass between very high grandstands, usually packed with fans making so much noise that even the drivers in the cockpit can hear them. There are 17 corners on the 4.304 kilometre lap and there are three DRS zones. The race runs over 71 laps, equivalent to 305.354 km.
"From June 8 to 10, Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve will host the 7th race of the 2018 World Formula1 Championship. Named for the legendary Ferrari driver, this circuit celebrate in the 2017 the 50th anniversary of its first Formula1 Canadian GP. The first ten editions were held however at Mosport Park (8) and Mont-Tremblant (2). The track is located on the Isle of Notre Dame, an artificial island built in 1965 on the Saint Lawrence River as the Montreal underground was being constructed. Characterized by alternating straightaways, chicanes and hairpin turns, this track is without a doubt the toughest test bench for the braking systems on the single-seaters, which usually show up here with a low aerodynamic load."
