Nick Suzuki, the captain of the Montreal Canadiens, took some time off from the ice to attend the qualifying rounds at the Canadian Grand Prix weekend with his fiancee Caitlin Fitzgerald. The couple shared their race day experience on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into their day at the F1 Circuit in Montreal.
Suzuki’s Instagram stories featured the pit lane at the F1 Circuit, with fans in the stands cheering on the racers. Caitlin also posted a story showcasing their drinks on a table with the race cars and grandstand in the background, adding heart and checkered flag emojis to the caption. After a thrilling day at the races, the couple dined at Park Restaurant in Westmount, Montreal, known for its sushi and omakase tasting menus.
The highlight of the day was the F1 qualifying session, where George Russell secured pole position with a time of 1:10.899, narrowly beating Max Verstappen. Oscar Piastri qualified third, while Lewis Hamilton finished fifth. Earlier in the day, Lando Norris topped the timesheets in Free Practice 3, setting the stage for an exciting race day on Sunday.
In a podcast appearance earlier this year, Caitlin revealed some fun facts about Nick Suzuki. While he excels at board games, she avoids playing with him as he always wins, especially in games like Scrabble. However, cooking is not one of Nick’s strong suits, according to Caitlin. Despite this, the couple enjoys engaging in challenges like the “Squid Games” challenge, where Nick emerged as the winner, prompting Caitlin to joke that he would have been the last one standing if it were real.
As the captain of the Montreal Canadiens, Nick Suzuki continues to impress both on and off the ice. With his passion for racing and support for the F1 Circuit in Montreal, Suzuki and Caitlin’s race day experience was a memorable one for both of them. Fans can look forward to seeing more of the couple’s adventures as they enjoy their time off the hockey rink.
