I'll also be at Montreal F1 in a weeks time. I will be using Canon 1DX and 300 f/2.8 +/- my 1.4 and 2.0 TCs depending on where I shoot from. I'll also have my 70-200 f/2.8 IS II to use for certain wider shots. I've shot at Montreal 3 other times, always as a fan, never with access to the track.
Other than shooting from your grandstand seat, I found that you can get some decent shots from the hairpin area as the hill is high enough to be shooting over the fence but still in line of sight with the cars. I've posted 4 shots from that position from 2012 (I didn't attend last year due to other commitments).
As far as grandstands go, I've sat at the hairpin, at Senna curve and at the main straight. The best grandstand for photography was the hairpin. The main straight is not good for photography except for shooting into the pits. The Senna curve was okay but the year I sat there was the 4hr race with rain all the time so not much photography went on
I usually put away the camera gear on Sunday and just enjoy the race but it is fun to photograph on Friday and Saturday and to see the support races.
