The Canadiens had a special guest at the Montreal F1 Grand Prix
This weekend, the Formula 1 Grand Prix is taking place in Montreal, and for the occasion, the Canadiens received a special visitor.
Indeed, Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas traded his racing gear for hockey gear and hit the ice with Raphaël Harvey-Pinard and
Alex Newhook.
We know that many Canadiens players are fans of Formula 1, and it's common for NHL players from all over to come to Montreal during this time of the year to watch the race at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
In fact,
Kirby Dach has been spotted arriving, and it's likely he's here for the Grand Prix.
"Spotted! Kirby Dach just landed in Montreal! Surely here to enjoy the Grand Prix."

It's really interesting to see a racing driver interested in hockey and the Canadiens. While one might expect to see Lance Stroll, it's Bottas, a Finn, who came for the visit.
A great visit for the Canadiens and perhaps a new fan favorite when the red lights go out!
