F1 has stated there is 'no danger' of the CanadianGP being cancelled as a result of the worst wildfire season on record ⬇️
The region of Quebec in which Montreal sits is experiencing its worst fire season on record, with more than 150 blazes having been reported.
Tens of millions of people in the US are currently under air quality alerts, with many cities covered by a murky brown haze. Citizens have been advised to restrict outdoor activities, and anti-pollution masks are being distributed in some areas. However, following discussions between race organisers, local government officials and the F1 Incident Management Group this week, no concerns have emerged about the event being impacted.
The wildfires are around 800 kilometres from Montreal, and have had some impact on the city in recent days.But while air quality in the city dipped earlier this week, it did not reach a level where residents were advised to stay indoors or restrict movements outside.
