Marcus Ericsson is eagerly awaiting Formula 1's return to Montreal. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will play host to round 7 of the 2017 Formula 1 world championship. So far this season, Ericsson has racked up three retirements, two P15 finishes and one finish in eleventh just outside the points.
Ericsson says that coming to Canada is great not just for racing but also to see the fans. He claims the Canadians create a great atmosphere there and make it much more enjoyable for the drivers.
“I always look forward to the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, because I particularly like the track and the atmosphere around the circuit there. The city, the fans, the track and the event are just spectacular. It is a demanding track, especially because of its chicanes.
Ericsson also likened the track to the street circuit of Monaco: "The characteristic turns make it similar to Monaco. The combination of slow turns and long straights make it essential to bring the tyres to ideal temperature to get the right amount of grip. Of course, top speed also plays a defining role.”
