4. Montreal's position in terms of size on the list of French-speaking cities in the world. The largest, with the biggest population is Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), followed by Paris (France) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast). The majority of Montreal's inhabitants are at least bilingual, although 20% of the population also speak a third language.

24. The number of times the Montreal Canadiens team, colloquially known as the "Habs", has held aloft the Stanley Cup for winning the NHL (National Hockey League). The club is undoubtedly the most popular in the city and is the oldest professional ice hockey team in the world. The last time it brought home the Stanley Cup was back in 1993, but it still holds the record for the most NHL title wins.

41. The average age of the inhabitants of Montreal, one of the lowest among cities in North America. Contributing to this statistic is the fact that Montreal is home to around twenty thousand students from 150 different countries.

50. The number of years since the Safety Car made its Formula 1 debut. The car that comes out when there's a hazard on track was used for the first time in the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix, at Mosport Park. It was driven by former Formula 1 driver, Eppie Wietzes, who it has to be said, drove out in the middle of the pack and had a not inconsiderable effect on the final race result!

744. The number of laps that a Ferrari has led the Grands Prix in Montreal. The record cannot be broken this year as second on the list is McLaren on 518 laps, followed by Williams (440), Mercedes (257) and Red Bull (236) and Sunday's race distance is 69 laps.
