The decision to move the race from Mosport Park to Circuit Île Notre-Dame in Montreal was motivated by concerns about the circuit's safety standards. This shift paved the way for a more iconic venue that would go on to witness numerous historic moments.

In addition to the well-known champions, several drivers have achieved their first #F1 victory at the Canadian Grand Prix. These include Thierry Boutsen (1989), Jean Alesi (1995), and Daniel Ricciardo (2014).
