F1 25 Canada Setup: Best Dry and Wet Car Setup

The best F1 25 Canada setup runs wings at 23 and 19, the differential at 100% on throttle and 35% off, suspension at 38 and 8, anti-roll bars at 8 and 10.5, ride height at 22 and 48 and front brake bias at 54%. Montreal is straights, chicanes and one hairpin, with walls on the exits. The setup is built to ride the kerbs and stay stable on the brakes.

The numbers come from F1Laps, which reports what the 100 fastest setups at this track have in common. I read them on 5 October 2026. I have not tested this exact setup in the game, so take it as community data. The reading of it is mine.

F1 25 Canada setup: dry and wet

These values are for the 2025 cars in the base game.

Why this setup works at Montreal

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is 4.361 km long, has 14 corners and runs clockwise. It sits on an island in the St. Lawrence river. There is almost no fast corner on it. The lap is a string of straights joined by chicanes, a hairpin at the far end and a last chicane with a wall on the exit.

Wings at 23 and 19. Medium downforce, a little below the middle. Eight tracks run less front wing and 14 run more. Ten run less rear wing and 13 run more. Australia is the only other track on 23 at the front. The straights ask for less wing, but you need the rear planted under braking and on the way out of the chicanes. You can compare it with every other track in my F1 25 setups for every track.

Differential at 100% and 35%. Fully locked on throttle, like 19 of the 24 tracks. Every corner here is a slow exit onto a straight. Off throttle, 35% is high. Only Imola runs more, and only Australia and Miami match it. More lock off throttle keeps the rear calm when you brake and turn into a chicane.

Suspension at 38 and 8. This is where the kerbs show up. The front is soft. Only China and Las Vegas run less than 38. The rear at 8 is stiffer than most, with only Bahrain, Monaco and Saudi Arabia above it.

Anti-roll bars at 8 and 10.5. The front is right in the middle, with 11 tracks below and 11 above. Monaco runs the same 8. The rear at 10.5 is on the soft side. Five tracks run less and 18 run more.

Ride height at 22 and 48. High at both ends. Only Imola and Las Vegas run more than 22 at the front, and only Imola and Monaco run more than 48 at the rear. Las Vegas, Monza and Singapore match the 48. You attack the kerbs at every chicane here, and a low car bottoms out on them.

Brake bias at 54%. The same as 17 of the 24 tracks. Brake pressure is 100%.

Tyres at 28.8 and 21.5 psi. Mid range. 13 tracks run higher front pressures.

How to drive it

Turns 1 and 2 are one corner. Brake in a straight line for the left of turn 1, then let the car roll into the long right of turn 2. Do not rush the throttle. The exit of turn 2 tightens and the lap time is on the short straight after it.

Use the kerbs in turns 3 and 4. It is a quick right and left with a wall on the exit. Take a good piece of the inside kerb on the way in and leave yourself a margin on the way out. The wall is closer than it looks.

Brake straight for turns 6 and 7. The braking zone for the left of turn 6 comes after a flat out curve. Get the car straight before you hit the brake. Then be early on the throttle out of turn 7, because the next straight is long.

Do not cut turns 8 and 9 too much. It is another right and left chicane. The kerbs are tall, and too much of them throws the car at the exit wall.

The hairpin sets up the longest straight. Turn 10 is the slowest corner on the lap. Brake late, turn in late and get the car pointing straight early. A locked differential spins the inside wheel if you ask for full throttle too soon, so squeeze it.

Respect the last chicane. You arrive at top speed. Brake at the 100 metre board or just before it, ride the first kerb, go easy on the second and stay off the exit wall. It ends more laps than any other corner here.

How to adjust it to your driving

Change one thing at a time and drive three clean laps before you judge it.

• You get wheelspin out of the hairpin. Lower the on throttle differential from 100% to 85%. The wet set goes all the way down to 72.5%.
• The rear steps out when you brake into a chicane. Add one or two clicks of rear wing, or raise the off throttle differential from 35% to 40%.
• The car understeers in turn 2. Add two clicks of front wing, or soften the front anti-roll bar from 8 to 6.
• The car bounces off the kerbs. Raise the rear ride height by one click, or soften the rear suspension from 8 to 6.
• You lock the fronts into the last chicane. Move brake bias back from 54% to 53%, or take brake pressure down to 95%.
• You are slow on the straights. Take one click off both wings. Do not go further before you are consistent on the brakes.
• You are on a controller. Start from the same numbers and lower the on throttle differential to 75 or 80%. My F1 25 controller settings cover the calibration side.

Wet setup for Canada

Compared with the dry setup:

• The wings come down, from 23 and 19 to 19.5 and 17. That is unusual. Most wet sets add wing.
• The on throttle differential drops from 100% to 72.5%. Off throttle goes up from 35% to 40%.
• The suspension moves a little, from 38 and 8 to 37 and 9.
• The front anti-roll bar goes up from 8 to 13. The rear goes from 10.5 to 10.
• Brake bias moves forward from 54% to 55%.
• The front tyres drop from 28.8 to 26 psi. The rears stay at 21.5 psi.
• Toe moves a touch, to 0.01 at the front and 0.12 at the rear.

Ride height stays at 22 and 48 and camber does not change.

I would not read too much into the lower wings. It is what the fastest wet laps on F1Laps use, and those are hotlaps. For a wet race, I would start from the dry wings and take the rest of the wet set.

Canada setup for the 2026 Season Pack car

The 2026 cars arrived in F1 25 with the 2026 Season Pack. They have their own setups, and a 2025 setup does not carry over. F1Laps files these cars under F1 26. These are the sets for Canada as I read them on 5 October 2026.

The 2026 car runs far more wing, 42 and 24 against 23 and 19. The differential is 95% on throttle and 40% off. The car sits lower, at 20.5 and 46, with both anti-roll bars at 7 and the rear suspension up at 11. Brake bias moves forward to 56% and the front tyres run 25.5 psi.

The 2026 data on F1Laps still moves from one day to the next. Treat it as a starting point and check the source before a league race.

Other tracks and older games

For the only other track with 23 at the front and 35% off throttle, see my F1 25 Australia setup. For another short lap of straights and heavy braking, see my F1 25 Austria setup. For the opposite kind of lap, all fast corners, see my F1 25 Japan setup. If you are on an older game, I have a Canada setup for F1 23.

FAQ

What is the best setup for Canada in F1 25?

What wing level should I run at Montreal in F1 25?

23 at the front and 19 at the rear in the dry. That is medium downforce, a little below the middle of the 24 tracks.

Why is the ride height so high at Canada?

Because of the kerbs. You ride them at every chicane, and a low car bottoms out and bounces towards the wall. Only Imola and Monaco run a higher rear ride height than 48.

What is the best wet setup for Canada in F1 25?

Wings 19.5 and 17, differential 72.5% and 40%, suspension 37 and 9, anti-roll bars 13 and 10, ride height 22 and 48 and brake bias 55%. Front tyres run 26 psi and rears 21.5 psi.

Does the F1 25 Canada setup work on the 2026 cars?

No. The 2026 Season Pack car runs wings at 42 and 24, the differential at 95% and 40%, ride height at 20.5 and 46 and brake bias at 56%. Use the 2026 table on this page.

Where does this setup come from?

From F1Laps, which analyses the 100 fastest setups its users have driven at Montreal. I read the numbers on 5 October 2026. They can move when the game is patched.
