Behind the scenes in Montreal

AUTOSPORT's group F1 editor Jonathan Noble brings more tales from the paddock after the Canadian Grand Prix weekend

Canada loves Formula 1 as much as F1 loves the Canadian Grand Prix.

With the event's future now seemingly secure, after years dogged by doubts that it could afford its place on the calendar, Montreal has returned to its rightful place as a firm favourite with the F1 community.

And it is not hard to see why. Walking around downtown Montreal you cannot but help know that the F1 race is on - as there are grand prix street parties throughout the weekend, the shops refit their windows with motor racing themes, and all the talk is of the action taking place at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
