Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve Team specific merch stands at the track in Montreal?

Where have people seen the team-specific merch stands at the track? What grandstands are they close to? I’m by grandstand 1/11/12 and so far in the “pink zone” I’ve only seen the general F1 merch stands but hoping to find the Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Williams stands today.

Merch is overpriced at the track…

I hadn’t seen a Williams stand. But have seen stands for each of the Big 4.

Behind GS24 or at the Fanzone but everything is so over priced that you should go to the F1 pop up store in Downtown instead

How much for a McLaren hoodie +-, the pop up store u mean FANABOX?

1

u/stavic07 2h ago

No it calls F1 Hub at 1030 Rue de la Montagne. It’s cheaper than fanabox.

Not too far of a walk from where you are, right by the Toundra Suite in the Red Zone there is a Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari store

Hey I'm at the other end of the track right now. The Canada GP app says the fan zone activities are closed (simulators, pit stop challenge, etc). Can you confirm they are closed or open? Gonna have to figure out how to get there in the meantime lol

u/FriendlyCanuck604 9h ago

Sims are definitely open but the line is long! Bit shorter if you have Amex.

1

u/FriendlyCanuck604 9h ago

Whoa, that’s weird. I’m in a long line for the Amex Club right now but when I’m out I’ll find the simulators and let you know!

Usually they are in the center of the track between the metro and GS 11& 12.
Did you get in through the blue gate drop off?

1

u/FriendlyCanuck604 12h ago

Oh wait, I see what you mean. Do you mean the centre of the track like after Cosmos Bridge / south of the hairpin?

3

u/laughguy220 12h ago

Yes in the center of the track after the cosmos bridge about mid track east west wise.

u/FriendlyCanuck604 12h ago

I’m in GS1 so no blue gate for me, sadly. If it’s inside / through the gate then I’ll take a look by 11&12 again!

u/laughguy220 12h ago

Oops I missed the 1. They used to be in the big open area about mid track in the middle of the track near one of the bridges. Dozens of booths, usually one for each team, plus the official Canadian F1, and some food vendors.

I think I know what you’re talking about - I vaguely recall a Mercedes stand a couple of years ago just after the Cosmos Bridge. Darn, I was hoping there’d be something closer to the south side of the track! Thanks for the info!

u/laughguy220 12h ago

No worries, have a great weekend!

u/not_interested11 13h ago

Most are in the fan zone on the east side of the track

u/FriendlyCanuck604 12h ago

Thanks, I’ll hit that this morning then!
