Fórmula 1 resumes its activities this Friday to compete in the Canadá GP, at Circuito Gilles Villeneuve, at Montreal. The event marks the fifth stage of the world motorsport season after a three-week interruption in the calendar following the round in Miami. The teams take to the track in two official sessions that open the North American schedule.
The drivers face the only free practice of the weekend in the early afternoon, followed by the definition of the starting grid for the short race. The local schedule follows the dynamics of the squares that host the compact competition format, requiring quick adjustments to the cars. The Brazilian public will be able to follow the track work through closed channels and digital platforms.
Horários and broadcast of track sessions on Montreal
Friday’s free practice begins at 1:30 p.m. Brasília time, corresponding to 12:30 p.m. Canadian local time. The activity will last 60 minutes for engineers to evaluate tire wear and the behavior of the single-seaters on the asphalt. Essa window gains importance due to the fact that it is the only moment of free preparation before the start of the parc fermé regime.
Qualifying for the sprint race takes place a little later, scheduled for 5:30 pm, also in the Brasília time zone, corresponding to 4:30 pm in Montreal. Essa quick session defines the starting positions for Saturday’s race, distributing the first points of the stage. Fans have three main options to watch events live officially in the national territory.
- SporTV: pay television channel broadcasts free training and sprint classification.
- Globoplay: streaming platform retransmits the closed TV signal on the internet.
- F1TV Pro: Fórmula 1’s official app displays all camera footage with original audio.
Previsão of the weather points to dry track and heat in Circuito Gilles Villeneuve
Meteorological services indicate climate stability for the first day of cars on the track in Montreal. Não rain is expected for the interval that comprises the two periods of Fórmula 1 activity in the Canadian square. The asphalt should register high marks due to the direct sunlight predicted for the afternoon.
The thermometers must register fluctuations between 23°C and 29°C around the circuit mounted on the Notre-Dame island. The intensity of the winds should remain at low levels, without exceeding the 9 km/h mark in the most open region of the route. Essa atmospheric calm prevents sudden variations in aerodynamics at strong braking points on the street track.
