Canada: McLaren is not thinking about the pass of four, but?

During the last three editions of the Canadian Grand Prix, a McLaren has always stood out. Lewis Hamilton in 2010 and 2012, and Jenson Button in 2011 at the end of a completely crazy ordeal. A success that will be difficult to repeat this year, as the MP4-28 is less efficient than its predecessors. But a surprise is always possible. “McLaren has always done well in Canada, we have won 13 Grand Prix here, and if we don't go to Montreal next week with a real chance of victory, we have that an unexpected result is always possible here”, explains Martin Whitmarsh, the team principal of the British team.

Beyond the good memories of the past, the event itself excites the leader of Woking to the highest degree. “The Canadian Grand Prix is ​​one of the highlights of the racing calendar. Formula 1, and a race that the whole paddock loves”, continues the Englishman. “It's a showcase for F1 at its best, the track flows naturally and encourages daring driving, but punishes anyone's mistakes with tight run-offs and unforgiving concrete walls. The track surface is abrasive and relatively grip-free, while the long straight at the end of the lap is perfect for slipping in and overtaking. It?s one of the best races of the year?, concludes Martin Whitmarsh.
