Always a great week for Montreal and racing fans, officially kicks off the summer period. Great to see the tickets are sold out, there are still general admission available. It is nice to see the GP organizers offer family tickets at $275 and free for children under 15, great initiative on their part.
This is a power circuit, I am hoping Ferrari bring their "power enhancements" which are planned for this weekend. They will need all the juice they can muster to hope to challenge Mercedes and stay ahead of Williams.
Long term forecast, nice weather for Saturday-Sunday. Should make for an entertaining GP, as always...
What are your plans for GP week?
