Montreal will show we’re back on form - Fisico

By on

After his best performance of the season so far at Monaco, ING Renault F1 Team driver, Giancarlo Fisichella, is very confident towards the sixth round of the 2007 Formula One Championship, the Canadian Grand Prix.

Giancarlo, you scored your best result of the season so far in Montreal. Are you pleased that the team is making progress?

"Yes, it’s important for me and for the team to see we are going forward step by step, and that we are finding answers to the problems we have suffered since the start of the season. The team has worked night and day in the last weeks, and it is a boost to everybody’s determination to see the first rewards on track. From my point of view, I am pleased to have put in a good performance at Monaco, because it is a real driver’s circuit, and that shows I am performing well."

The next round is in Canada. Do you enjoy the race?

"It’s a fantastic race, in a great city. I have some very good memories from this race, because I have been on the podium four times! I hope to have another good race for me and the team this year as well."

What will be your approach to this, the sixth Grand Prix of the season?

"The last test and race have given us some more confidence, and I think we will perform well this weekend. Of course, it’s a street circuit, so it will be very slippery on Friday. But as the weekend goes on and the cars put rubber down, the grip levels will improve. When I start running, my focus will be on finding the braking points, rediscovering the line and keeping momentum through the chicanes, which is very important for a good lap-time."

What are your expectations for the race?

"I think that we can be optimistic. Things have improved for us in the last weeks, the car balance is better, and the overall grip is higher too. Both factories are working flat out to improve the car even more, and all the members of the team are pushing to the limit. They have done a fantastic job so far. That hard work will definitely pay off, and I am confident that in Montreal, we will show we’re back on form."
