The staging of the Formula 1 race in Montreal is currently not threatened by the forest fires raging in Canada.
“The risk remains low and the air quality in Montreal is good,” said a spokesman for the racing series. There is currently a lively exchange with the organizers, the situation is “different than in other parts of the country and in the north of the USA”, it said more than a week before the Grand Prix on June 18th. The smoke caused by the fire had caused some major problems as far as New York in the USA and also led to the cancellation of sporting events.
The forest fires are happening around 800 kilometers from Montreal and have had some impact on the city in the past few days. Recently, however, the air quality has improved significantly and is back to a normal level, it said. The situation will continue to be closely monitored in the coming days. The eighth round of the Formula 1 season is to take place at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
