After a two-year absence, the Canadian Grand Prix will return to the Formula One calendar in 2022. In the process, the race in the North American country has immediately found a new main sponsor for the event.

Return to Canada

On June 19, Formula 1 will return to Montreal, Canada, after a two-year wait. The Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve will host a Grand Prix again for the first time since the corona pandemic. The organization has found a new main sponsor.

The Canadian Grand Prix, like the previous two editions of the race, is changing its main sponsor. In 2018 this was Heineken, in 2019 it was tire supplier Pirelli. In 2022, AWS will have a large-scale presence on the sponsor boards around the circuit.

AWS involved in F1 for some time now

AWS has been involved with Formula 1 since 2018. Amazon Web Services, as it is fully named, has been providing the graphics used by Formula 1 for years. Starting in 2022, the Canadian Grand Prix will formally be called the 'Formula 1 AWS Grand Prix du Canada'.
