The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix: A Memorable Race
The Circuit
The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix was held at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada. The circuit is named after the late Canadian Formula One driver Gilles Villeneuve, who died in a crash during qualifying for the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix.
The Race
The race was won by Jenson Button of McLaren, who started from third on the grid. Button overtook Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull on the first lap and led the race for the majority of the distance. Vettel finished second, ahead of Mark Webber of Red Bull in third. The race was notable for its length, as it was the longest Formula One race in history at the time, lasting for four hours and four minutes.
The Aftermath
The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix was a memorable race for many reasons. It was the first time that a British driver had won the race since Damon Hill in 1999. It was also the first time that a McLaren driver had won the race since Lewis Hamilton in 2010. The race was also notable for the performance of Jenson Button, who drove a masterful race to secure his first victory of the 2011 season.
