Canada F1 Grandstand and General Admission Guides
The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve offers fans 13 different grandstand to choose from, each with very different views of different parts of the circuit.
There is also general admission viewing which doesn’t get you a grandstand seat but does offer you a cheaper way to access the race weekend. But the views from these GA tickets are very limited at the Canadian GP.
Below I’ve written complete guides to each of the grandstands and the general admission tickets. In these guides I give my tips on the best places to sit (or stand), plus there’s videos giving examples of the views. Check these out before booking your tickets:
Alex’s top pick:
Sections 1, 2 and 3 of Grandstand 11 are, in my opinion, the best place to sit at the Montreal Grand Prix. Go for seats in the higher rows and you’ll get a view of the start / finish straight and Turns 1 and 2. Avoid sections 6 and higher as you’ll have your view of Turn 1 blocked by trees.
Sitting near the hairpin is also a good option. As the cars are so slow here, you get to see them for a long time. Of the grandstand near the Turn 10 hairpin I’d choose grandstand 15 looking back towards the track.
The only covered grandstand is the Platine grandstand.
I have consistently used Stubhub for my Formula 1 tickets over the last few seasons, including for when I attended the Dutch, Las Vegas and Belgian Grand Prix, and have always had a great experience using their platform.
They always have a big selection of 1, 2 or 3 day Canadian Grand Prix tickets for sale, even when they seem to be sold out elsewhere. Plus if you wait until the last few days prior to the race you can usually find a bargain when prices tend to drop. And they have a very strong ‘FanProtect guarantee’ which will mean your money and tickets are always safe which is great for peace of mind!
