Canada9 Jun 2013 Montreal, Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve

Canada
There’s always a good atmosphere in the grandstand on the outside of Turn 2. The Canadians love their F1, so it’s always packed and noisy, and you get a cracking view of the start from there.

The first chicane is difficult to get right. The turn-in point is blind because you can’t see the kerb and you have to get that right in order to get the second bit right.

The second chicane requires an element of patience. It drops away from you in the middle and you’ve got to try and get a clean exit.

The hairpin isn’t a great corner, but it’s fun on the drivers’ parade. The grandstands are huge and the fans make a lot of noise.

AS A MATTER OF FACT…

  • Mark finished seventh in Canada last year. His best ever result in Montreal was his third place in 2011’s rain-delayed event.The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is the only track in F1 that’s subjected to two extremes of weather. The temperature in the middle of winter drops to minus 30 degrees, while in summer it peaks at plus 35.
  • Alan Jones, the last Australian world champion, clinched his 1980 world title with victory in that year’s Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.
  • There has been only one Canadian world champion in history: Jacques Villeneuve.

Petra POSTED June 06th, 2012

Hi Mark,
Your last race in Monaco showed, that your team improved to prepare your car and used the perfect race strategy; as well as the excellent driver, who put finally everything right together. You can do this again in Montreal Mark! You haven’t won there so far? Time to change this.
Good Luck! Petra

Hi Mark, All the best this weekend and for the rest of the year. I pick up 30k if you finish higher than Jenson at the end of the year. Go you good thing

Daniel POSTED June 07th, 2011

I think Seb could struggle with the low downforce setup and this could provide Mark with the opportunity to produce another consistant result and make up some ground on Seb.

ChannelSenna POSTED June 07th, 2011

Hi Mark, need to lengthen your gear ratios mate will help deal with the tyre wear and settle your car down a bit looks a fraction narley compared to sebs. Good luck in Canada mate always kickin’ ya home go you good thing!

Hi Mark, a bit of bad luck in Monaco
but you arrived safely and you’re still strong in the competition.I loved your overtaking maneuver, so clean and spectacular among so many collisions. You’re a brilliant driver. And hey one guy really couldn’t shut up last week…..very entertaining :-) Can’t wait for Canada where real racing will be back. Good luck there!!
Have a nice weekend and may be time to watch MotoGP .
All the best from China

Daniel POSTED May 31st, 2011

Big opportunity to improve on last years result. This could be the week that Marks season takes off!

Petra POSTED May 30th, 2011

Hi Mark, studying flags? Hehe… it seems it would forgotten the british and the royal flag… ;-) ). Nevertheless… I wish you all the best for Canada!
