The circuit of Montreal is located in Saint Lawrence River in the southern Quebec, to the east of the city of Montreal. Already from years ' 60, Canada wished "authentic" a circuit of F1. The increasing success of Gilles Villeneuve pushed Montreal to lodge the GP of Canada 1978. On which they were streets and parkings, in island of Notre Dame, during the development of the Expo of 1967 and Olympic villa in the Olympic Games of Montreal, that GP was disputed, in spite of not to have been able to make his so wished permanent circuit. Another curiosity of the circuit is that the ground on which is based, that is to say, the island of Notre Dame, is artificial. Its existence must to that the rubbish caused by construction sites of the meter of Montreal was deposited here.
Rubens knows of which it speaks: from 1997 four accidents in this place in the exit have taken place. In 1997 a Ferrari was crossed after colliding with another single-seater. In 1998 a spectacular accident took place in which a Benetton began to give bell returns; in the second exit a single-seater was raised upon another one, and in 1999 three participants were outside race by a brutal shock. Without a doubt, Montreal has a difficulty and extra danger in the first curve.
