According to current information, the Canadian GP will be run as normal.
Next week’s Canadian GP in Montréal, which is on the F1 program, will be raced as planned, even though huge forest fires have raged in the province of Quebec in recent weeks.
More than 150 forest fires are raging in Quebec, and the resulting smoke has, among other things, spread to the United States, causing extremely poor air quality. Among other things, New York has been covered by historical heavy smog.
After discussions, the race organizers, local authorities and representatives of the F1 series have agreed that the situation will not affect the organization of the Canadian GP.
However, the forest right near Montréal is not on fire, as the distance to the nearest fires is about 800 kilometers. However, the city’s air quality has suffered from the fires.
However, the situation is not alarming, as people have not been ordered to stay at home. According to the weather forecasts for next week, the winds and rains are about to dispel the worst smoke.
F1 had to cancel this season already because of the natural conditions of the Imola race. The reason was the floods caused by heavy rains.
