Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel reflects on challenges and key part of the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit | 2019 Canadian GP. Seb reflects on challenges of the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit.

The Formula 1 circus heads away from Europe this weekend for the Canadian Grand Prix, the seventh round of the 2019 Formula One season. Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel, who managed to win last year’s event in Canada, admitted that he is looking forward to the “unique atmosphere” in Montreal ahead of the race weekend

The Gilles Villeneuve Circuit is a track which receives plenty of positive reviews from drivers up and down the grid and Sebastia Vettel is no different, as the four-time Formula One world champion confirmed that the circuit is one of his favourites:

“Canada is a race we drivers really look forward to. We race on an island right in Montreal, a fantastic place full of fans that ensure a unique atmosphere. Usually, the track starts off really slippery and it takes quite a while to rubber in and provide a decent level of grip,” – Sebastian Vettel explained – “The track is also known for being stop-and-go, with long straights and heavy braking points, split up by a few slow corners and some chicanes where you need to use the kerbs a lot. The final part of the lap is usually the key.” – he added.

Last’s year victory in Canada will seem so far away to those inside the Ferrari garage. Even though Mercedes is looking dominant, Sebastian Vettel is confident in the possibility of repeating his 2018 success at the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit: “Last year, I started from pole and won the race, 40 years after Gilles Villeneuve won here. I will do my utmost to get a good result.” – Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel concluded, ahead of the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix.
