2026 Canadian Grand Prix: The Preview.

Audi Revolut F1® Team prepares for one of the most charming destinations on the Formula One calendar – Montreal, Canada.

A unique atmosphere.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a favourite among drivers and fans alike, a venue known for its unique atmosphere and the close walls that leave little margin for error. As the third Sprint weekend of the season, the challenges of this unforgiving track will be heightened by the limited track time available, but the team aims to put together a clean weekend and turn this format into an opportunity.

On the race’s support ticket, F1® Academy returns for its second round of the 2026 season, with Emma Felbermayr arriving in Canada at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. Representing Audi Revolut F1® Team on the grid, the young Austrian will look to carry the momentum into a busy weekend in Montreal, with three races set to take place across the event.

“Canada is always an exciting, yet demanding weekend."

"This track doesn’t leave much room for mistakes and it’s important to be sharp from the very first session. Miami was a tough event for us, but we knew there would be challenging weekends along the way in our first season. "

We must clean up a few areas and execute our race weekend well if we want to maximise our speed and potential. Sprint weekends put even more focus on preparation and making the most of all track time, so it’s important we maximise every lap available in the only practice session on Friday."

"It’s also good to have F1 Academy back this weekend. Emma made a really strong start to the season in Shanghai: it’s going to be a long season, but this will be another good opportunity for her to build on her good opener and keep pushing at the front.”

“Montreal is always a great event to come back to."

"It’s an iconic track and the atmosphere around the city and circuit makes it a really enjoyable weekend. After Miami, the main thing for us is to reset quickly and put together a cleaner weekend overall.

We know we have the potential to do well, but it’s a matter of delivering from the start to the end of the event. Sprint events always make things more hectic, so it will be important to build our confidence early in the weekend and move forward from there.”
