The 2008 Canadian GP Preview
The circus heads to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada for the seventh race of the season, and the drivers' championship battle is still close between Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa, Tom Keeble takes a look at prospects for the weekend ahead
Following the heady environment of Monaco, the circus has packed up its gear and moved over the Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix - which appears to be the diametric opposite type of circuit, with its long straights pushing teams to their lowest drag and downforce settings of the year.
Big stops from high speed push brakes to the limit, usually resulting in problems for a number of drivers by the end of the race. Overtaking is not only possible but likely.
