Sutil confident for Montreal

Adrian Sutil heads to the Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal in confident mood that he and the Spyker team can enjoy a better weekend after he felt a confidence boost from the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, despite failing to finish the race.

"Monaco is one of my favourite tracks, it's very special," Sutil said. "Montreal is a bit different as the walls are not so close and it's not quite as tight. But I think it will be a good race. I'm looking forward to it."

Speaking about that Monaco race, Sutil said, "We did see an improvement in the race and put in a good performance. The car was quick and we could race and outqualify other cars, but it's a shame we didn't finish. I just ran a little wide and hit the barriers. I still did over 50 laps though and got a good feel for how things were going. We were able to fight with the Aguri and the Toyota, which was very interesting. I think we could be in the same position again in Canada."

"We did make some improvements in the test and the performance was overall quite good," he added. "We used the low downforce set-up on the long straight, but it's not that similar to Montreal as there are not as many chicanes. Hopefully the developments we found will work in Montreal though and we will continue at the same rate we did in Monaco. The goal has definitely got to be to keep cars behind us, have a clean race and get to the finish."
