The 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship was dominated by Scuderia Ferrari, who entered Race 8 in Canada with competitive machinery. Williams and Toyota also competed but were later found to have fielded cars with illegal brake duct configurations, violating technical regulations.
On 13 June 2004, Michael Schumacher won the Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with teammate Rubens Barrichello finishing second to deliver a Ferrari 1-2. The race was the eighth of eighteen rounds in the 2004 championship season.
Post-race inspections led to the exclusion of Williams and Toyota from the results due to illegal brake ducts. This marked Ferrari's last Canadian Grand Prix victory until 2018, and the disqualifications represented the largest multi-car exclusion from a race result until the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix.
