Alonso eager to return to F1

After a month spent away from the circuits of Formula 1 for 500 Miles of Indianapolis whose arrival he did not see due to engine failure, Fernando Alonso is looking forward to returning for the Canadian Grand Prix.

« It's good to go back to Canada, he expresses himself. I feel like I've been spending a lot of time in North America lately! 

« The 500 Miles was an incredible experience and it was amazing to learn a completely different driving style, on a different type of circuit and with a very different car, but I'm ready to get back to my regular job in F1. "

The Spaniard had followed the Monegasque weekend which, despite two retirements, had been rather positive for the McLaren-Honda with both cars qualified for Q3. The McLaren driver nevertheless expects to suffer at the Canadian motor circuit.

« The layout of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve makes it a circuit where the cars are limited by power, and therefore dependent on the speed in a straight line and the power of the engines.

“It will be more difficult there than in the slow and twisty corners of Monaco, but I can't wait to get back to the MCL32, the team members and back on track, and not just to turn left this time! »
