The Canadian Grand Prix is NOT currently under threat from wildfires in the country, despite some reports to the contrary.
Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes as a result of the fires. They are not uncommon in Canada, but rarely happen this early in the year with climate change driving extreme temperatures and drought in the region.
With the Canadian Grand Prix just a week away, some Formula 1 fans might be concerned over whether the event will go ahead. Those worries will have been fuelled by some reports suggesting the race might be threatened by the fires.
