Circuit Gilles Villeneuve may not be a "great" track, but it has so much 
more to recommend it than, say, Valencia or Abhu Dhabi nad several 
others, that it totally deserves a place on the calendar IMO.

As for Monaco, yes it's eye candy but it's also a challenge for an F1 
car. A ridiculous place to run the cars but *so* demanding on accuracy. 
Great.
