Montreal – After two races in Europe, Formula 1 leaves the continent and makes its way for the first time this year to the Canadian Grand Prix, which will take place on the Montreal circuit next weekend. Before crossing the Atlantic, Fernando Alonso spent a few days in Maranello, helping the team in preparation for the race while his teammate Kimi Raikkonen was in Scandinavia with one of the Scuderia Ferrari sponsors. “After Monaco, I noticed a nice atmosphere in Maranello – said Alonso for www.Ferrari.com – Everyone is very motivated and hungry for good results. However, we are realists, we know where we are at the moment, but from now on we want to be able to get good results and enjoy more of the race. One thing is certain: we are all working in the same direction to improve the car.” (9Colonne)
