Michael Schumacher: "Canada is a fantastic land"
Montreal, 20th June 2006 - "There are always many reasons
to be enthusiastic about racing at Montreal. Canada is a fantastic
place and Montreal a marvellous city. The people here are
always relaxed and are interested in our sport. This all makes
the GP of Montreal a great weekend for the drivers".
"The circuit itself is completely different to any that
we have raced on until now. On the one hand it is necessary
to be quick and so have a low aerodynamic download, or lower
than usual. On the other hands, the chicanes call for the
opposite and so we need a mechanical set up able to exploit
the tracks many kerbs. In my opinion, Montreal is the 'stop
an go' type and brakes are very important".
"It is a new challenge for us all and I am eager to
see how it goes. I believe that we could do well but we will
have to wait for Friday for a real sense of things. Only then
will we have an idea of how things will go. Our aim is clear:
we want to do well and keep going in the title race. It will
certainly not be easy; nothing is in Formula 1. I am looking
forward to it and we can expect a tight race. How will we
do in the end? We will do just great!".
