Montreal is a racetrack that historically despite usually doing a good qualifying lap, something always goes wrong for Fernando on Sundays and mostly outside his control. Be it engine issues, bad strategy, an accident, setup issues, bad luck with Safety cars... With only a few exceptions Alonso fans know it's a racetrack where he is completely jinxed and he totally knows that as well. So I'd be a little bit cautious, but hopefully this is the time the curse is broken...
I remember 2007 in pain....

Yeah but the worst part wasn't the qualy. He had setup issues in the race which made him miss corners multiple times and he was unlucky with the SC, because in that year I think the pits were closed during them and that screwed him. To finish it off he even got overtaken by Sato in the Super Aguri.
Not to mention years such as 2005 (crashed out of the lead), 2011 (killed by Button, the one who won the race), 2012 (tyres died while in the lead) and 2022 (engine issues while running near the podium).... Not his luckiest track. I think the only GP everything went smoothly was 2006, pole and win.
