26 celebrities spotted at Montreal's F1 Grand Prix

The Formula One Grand Prix isn't just about high-speed thrills and cutting-edge racing technology. It's also a magnet for the glitterati. Each year, the event attracts various international celebrities to Montreal — from sports icons to music legends — who are drawn to the city thanks to red carpets, exclusive bashes and the world's most prestigious motor racing competition (which they of course tend to watch from VIP boxes).This year was no exception. Whether you were on-site at the F1 racing track on Île Notre-Dame or farther away from the roaring motors — walking the streets, dining at local restaurants and partying at downtown nightclubs — there were countless opportunities to spot stars over the weekend... even if Pitbull wasn't one of them.(ICYMI, Pitbull cancelled his Montreal Podium Concert moments before he was expected on stage due to "a mechanical problem with the plane" and ticket holders were not happy.)Did you see any stars peeking out amidst the rainfall?Here are 26 celebrities who were in Montreal for the 2024 Grand Prix du Canada.
