After 2024 'fiasco', Montreal aims to prove it's still the right city to host Formula 1
As the president of Scuderia Ferrari Club Montreal, Fabrizio Sciola might as well have motor oil coursing through his veins. He lives for Grand Prix week and enjoys showing off Montreal and everything the city has to offer to other Ferrari lovers who come to town for the event. But 2024 was different. "What happened last year was definitely a fiasco," Sciola says. Heavy rains flooded the paddocks and working spaces for the Formula One teams at the track. Drivers were reportedly late for important meetings due to delays caused by poorly managed construction sites. Miscommunication between race organizers, the city, police and Montreal's transit authority led to issues accessing the track for ticket holders. Fans jumped barriers, invading the race track. Restaurant terrasses were shut down in the middle of dinner service by the fire department over bylaw violations. "It was just a complete disaster and such an embarrassment, quite frankly," Sciola says. Quebec Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx agreed, saying that she was "ashamed" of what she saw. "It was a disaster," says Alain Creton, the president of the Peel Street merchants' association. WATCH | 2025 F1 race could make or break the Canadian Grand Prix's fate: Creton says his restaurant, Chez Alexandre, typically brings in between $100,000 to $200,000 in additional revenue on Formula One weekend, but much of that was lost last year after Montreal's fire service forced him to take down his terrasse tents because it was 18 inches too close to the main buildings. "We were a victim of a perfect storm last year," says Sandrine Garneau, the COO of Octane Racing Group, the official race organizer and promoter. "A lot of what happened last year was due to miscommunication." Pressure is on this year The failures of the 2024 Grand Prix have called into question Montreal's commitment to hosting Formula One and the competence of the event's organizers. "2025 is going to be a big test, everything will have to be absolutely impeccable, really, really sharp, no mishaps at all. But I'm not sure that that's enough to save the Canadian Grand Prix," says auto racing columnist Piero Facchin. Coming into this edition, rumours are swirling that the future of Montreal's race could be in jeopardy. Facchin says that with 24 races on the circuit, Formula One does not have room on its schedule to add more. But at the same time, places like Vietnam, Morocco, Argentina and Thailand are all angling to land a Grand Prix of their own. In the past, the Canadian Grand Prix was the only stop for Formula One in North America. But today there are races in Las Vegas, Austin, Miami and Mexico City, lessening Montreal's geographical advantage. Only weeks after the 2024 checkered flag dropped, Formula One officials were part of urgent meetings that included the local organizers, the City of Montreal and other stakeholders to establish the sequence of events that led to the event going so sideways. François Dumontier, the longtime head of Octane, the race's organizer, resigned in August. "It made us look quite bad and we've learned from that lesson," says Alia Hassan-Cournol, city councillor responsible for Montreal's economic development. "For this year we've changed a lot of things. We've worked all through the year with the partners and we're ready." New app, Canadian feel this year Formula One officials have taken a much more active role in the organization of the 2025 Grand Prix in Montreal. "This is the first year that we've been accompanied by Formula One in the way that we have," says Garneau, the COO of Octane. "This is kind of like you've been studying for an exam and now you need to deliver on that. So I wouldn't say that we're feeling the pressure. I'd say that we're incredibly motivated and incredibly stimulated." She added that Octane has also consulted with other race organizers to learn more about how they run their Grand Prix. This year, the experience at the track should be much improved with the implementation of a new app which will help guide and inform fans of entertainment options on site. There are also new colour-coded site maps, enhanced food options, and Garneau says the event will also feel much more Canadian, without being tacky. "We are confident that this edition of the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix will show the world what Canada is able to do," she says. F1 'is here to stay' Tourism Montreal says last year's race brought in 300,000 spectators and $162 million in economic windfall to local businesses. City councillor Hassan-Cournol says in the last year, Montreal has overhauled how its departments communicate and that she is optimistic the problems of 2024 will not happen again. "F1, I want to reassure everybody, is here to stay," Hassan-Cournol says. Montreal's fire department says it's also made internal changes so there won't be a repeat of the Peel Street debacle. Spokesperson Guy Lapointe says inspectors are now trained to help businesses find solutions to fire code violations, rather than just pointing them out. There is a 24/7 hotline to help settle disputes between businesses and inspectors and additional layers of administrative approval are required before a raid can be carried out. Creton, the restaurateur, says communication has dramatically improved leading up to this year's Grand Prix, adding that terrasses on Peel Street are now permitted to be five feet larger, allowing for more tables and more customers. "It's gonna be one of these beautiful Grand Prix and we want that to stay in Montreal indefinitely," he says. Garneau says that despite the rumours, Canadian racing fans shouldn't worry about the immediate future of the Grand Prix. She points to the contract with Formula One that entitles Montreal to host the event until at least 2031 and calls it "set in stone." But racing journalist Facchin isn't so sure. "It's not set in stone. Technically it is. But anything can happen." Facchin says 2025 is make or break for Montreal and beyond that, the best argument the city has is its historical connection to the sport that goes back to Gilles Villeneuve's dramatic victory in 1978. "Gilles Villeneuve's spirit," Facchin says, while looking up to the heavens, "please make the race stay on!"

Editorial: No winner to declare in Trump-Musk feud
The bitter feud that broke out this past week between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump is more than bravado gone bad. It highlighted the ugly, juvenile tendencies of both as they aired a personal grudge on a global scale. As bizarre and, admittedly, entertaining in a sort of WWE way, it proved, there were no winners to declare. Not Musk, not Trump, not their supporters, investors nor perhaps even bystanders. Ego can bring down the powerful — as Shakespeare observed long ago with Macbeth, King Lear and Othello. Achieving common goals and maintaining stability requires unity and collaboration. But that was quickly lost as they traded punches on social media. For Musk, it only further erodes his current and future customer base for everything from Tesla cars to The Boring Company tunnel contracts to SpaceX rockets and satellites. It also suggests that maybe he isn't cut out for leadership no matter how many billions of dollars he still has. Lost trust is difficult to recapture. For Trump, the world sees again that if you upset him enough, you can get under his skin. Get close to him, play to his ego and you can win him over without any authenticity. Neither quality is ideal for a global leader at a time when America needs to reassert itself. Oh, it was quite the bromance for a time. Remember when in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Trump, Musk tweeted unequivocally, 'I fully endorse Trump.' What followed was a prolonged political alliance that saw Musk sporting MAGA hats of nearly every variety, standing beside Trump at rallies across the country, addressing tens of thousands of Republicans at each stop, helping to raise millions for Trump and the GOP, and frequently, if awkwardly, appearing in the background of Oval Office meetings. Now, we suspect, Musk (and his son) won't be invited back to the Oval Office for some time. Some of the more prescient among us saw this coming. Cracks were already apparent as Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' was vetted. Claims that it would both jumpstart the economy and reduce the deficit proved too difficult a pill for Musk to swallow. 'Shame on those who voted for (the bill),' Musk now famously observed. Trump and many of his supporters alleged Musk only took issue with the bill because of the loss of electric vehicle subsidies. Musk, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get Trump reelected, then reminded the president of his game-changing political contributions. Oh, and he used the word 'ingratitude.' Trump then threatened to cut all of Musk's government contracts, to which Musk quickly replied that SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon Spacecraft (a spacecraft that the government heavily relies on for deliveries and trips to the International Space Station). Musk also dropped his 'big bomb,' accusing Trump of being in the government's unreleased Epstein files meaning he was associated with the late Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier convicted of sex offenses. In a Shakespeare play, this would now be the third act and one or more of the antagonists would express some remorse. They might even recognize their faults. Whatever offers of rapprochement we hear from the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man, we see little chance of such self-awareness. Musk crossed the Rubicon given how Trump values loyalty above all else. Perhaps a marriage of convenience is still possible but trust? Never again. The takeaway for the rest of us? How embarrassing and truly awful that the president of the United States would engage in this juvenile, public dispute with his most valued supporter simply because they have differing views on deficit spending. And perhaps there's also a lesson in not airing your dirty laundry in front of tens of millions on a social media account. In a better functioning democracy, disputes among political allies are resolved through negotiation and compromise, not through public accusations and threats. We are better than that. Whatever comes next, Musk and Trump might try having a private conversation. Without the public tweets and attempts to humiliate the other. It's a lesson most of us pick up in middle school or thereabouts. _____

Cathie Wood says Tesla is the stock she'd pick if she could only invest in one company
Cathie Wood was asked which company she would invest in if she were only allowed to pick one stock. Wood said she would pick Elon Musk's EV company, Tesla. Wood has long been bullish on Tesla. Her fund issued a $2,600 price target for Tesla last year. Ark Invest's Cathie Wood said she would invest in Elon Musk's Tesla if she were only allowed to pick one stock. Wood was speaking to investor Steven Bartlett on his podcast "The Diary Of A CEO" when Bartlett asked for her top stock pick. The full interview with Wood aired on YouTube last week. "Because, think about it. It is a convergence among three of our major platforms. So, robots, energy storage, AI," Wood said of Tesla. "And it's not stopping with robotaxis, there's a story beyond that with humanoid robots, and our $2,600 number has nothing for humanoid robots. We just thought it'd be an investment, period," she added. In June 2024, Wood's investment management firm, Ark Invest, issued a price target of $2,600 for Tesla. Wood told Bloomberg during an interview in March that she still stands by her target and expects Tesla's stock to hit $2,600 in five years. Wood told Bartlett that Musk's work with Tesla's Optimus robots would generate productivity gains for the company and create a new source of revenue. Musk said in an interview with CNBC last month that he expects Tesla to make a million Optimus robots every year by 2030. "We expect to have thousands of Optimus robots working in Tesla factories by the end of this year, beginning this fall. And we expect to scale Optimus up faster than any product, I think, in history to get to millions of units per year as soon as possible," Musk told CNBC. Tesla's stock has oscillated between highs and lows in recent months amid Musk's entry and exit from politics. Tesla's stock hit a peak closing price of $479 in December, after President Donald Trump won the presidential election in November. Musk was a prominent backer and supporter of Trump's campaign. Musk's involvement with the White House DOGE office sparked protests and boycotts against Tesla. In March, Tesla's stock fell by over 40% from its record highs in mid-December. This started to alarm investors, who repeatedly told Musk to spend more time on Tesla. Musk said in a Tesla earnings call in May that he would be scaling down his involvement with DOGE to focus on Tesla. Last week, Musk's relationship with Trump seemingly broke down after he criticized the president's "big beautiful bill." Musk also agreed with an X post that called for Trump's impeachment, before deleting it. Trump later threatened to cancel the government's contracts with Musk's businesses, saying it would be the "easiest way to save money in our Budget." Tesla's stock fell by 14% on Thursday amid the spat between Musk and Trump. The company's stock is down nearly 27% year to date. Wood said in a video posted to Ark Invest's YouTube channel on Friday that Musk's quarrel with Trump was an attempt to decouple himself from the Trump administration. "One of the hypotheses out there is that what has happened was partly — not entirely — orchestrated," Wood said. "Clearly, there has been some brand damage to Tesla, which he readily admits, and I think he's trying to disengage from the government and being associated with one party or the other," she continued. Representatives for Wood and Tesla did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
