'Montreal is one of the top five grands prix'

June 3, 2012

Mark Webber

"I would say Montreal is one of the top five grands prix of the year because it's a sensational atmosphere. It's a really, really good venue and always provides an interesting grand prix there for whatever reason, and last year was no exception. It's a low downforce track with long straights and high top speed, which is a different challenge. We'll see how that unfolds, but we're very confident the car should work well round there. I love driving the circuit; it's a good one to get our teeth into, a little bit like a street circuit, so I'm looking forward to getting out there."

Sebastian Vettel

"Montreal is a great city, everyone loves to go there - the atmosphere is always great. The track is on an island in the St. Lawrence river, and is a great challenge for the drivers. Like the track in Albert Park in Australia, the roads are public, so tyre wear can be high. There's also a lot of wear on brakes, which can cause us a headache. Last year the race dragged on due to the heavy rain - but it's a good place to go racing."
