ontreal provides a gruelling test for man and machinery which Mercedes know all to well.

The Silver Arrows let slip an almost certain one-two finish last year due to brake issues,

proving that even the most bulletproof of cars can be vulnerable at the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve.

Reliability will be a concern following the dramas of 2014, but all eyes will be on the team’s strate-gists following the tactical blunder which cost Lewis Hamilton victory at Monaco last time out.

In terms of the title race, the Monaco mix up has seen the momentum swing firmly in favour of Nico Rosberg courtesy of back-to-back victories in Spain and Monaco.

It has been the perfect response to critics who had almost written off the German’s hopes of challenging Hamilton for the championship.

While Mercedes will consign last year’s race to the history books, Daniel Ricciardo will be desperate to turn back the clock to the day he took advantage of Mercedes’ problems to score a breakthrough victory.

The prospect of a repeat performance is highly unlikely following a desperately poor start to the season from Red Bull Racing.

However, there could be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel after the team managed to achieve its best result of the year with a fourth and fifth in Monaco.

Ricciardo and team-mate Daniil Kvyat are also set to receive upgraded power units this weekend, with Renault confident a new cylinder design will address the reliability concerns.

The fix couldn’t have come at a better time with both Red Bull drivers utilising their fourth and final units of their season allocation.

A further failure would see either of its drivers forced to undertake a 10 place grid drop.

There will be plenty riding on the fix, which if deemed successful, will give the French manufacturer the green light to begin the task of extracting more power from the engine.

Improvements are also expected in the Ferrari and McLaren camps with both teams due to debut upgraded power units in their quest to move towards the front.

Overview Canada stands in stark contrast to the most recent rounds of the season in Spain and Monaco. Where Barcelona is seen as a reference point for overall car performance and the streets of Monte Carlo are totally unique, Montreal presents teams with fresh challenges in terms of high power requirements and heavy braking zones. Despite a lap of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve being relatively short, the nature of the layout could well reveal larger performance differentials between cars than those seen at previous events this season. Brakes Brakes are one of the key performance areas in Canada. There is a lot of duty going into the brakes at various points around the circuit, with some big stops following long periods at full power. Managing the brakes in the most efficient manner will be a focal point of the weekend. Power Unit The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is high power sensitivity circuit. Aside from the long straights and fast nature of the circuit, power delivery out of the slower turns, the hairpin in particular, is crucial. Furthermore, as one of the more thirsty tracks on the calendar, this is a circuit where the efficiency formula will come to the fore. Overtaking Unlike Monaco, overtaking is particularly prevalent in Canada. The DRS effect is reasonably powerful here which, coupled with big braking zones, should generate ample passing opportunities. Track Surface Problems with the track surface at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve often occur over the winter. This is most prevalent at the Turn 10 hairpin, where the tarmac is often found to be pulling up around the apex. As a result, the track surface is resurfaced quite frequently and thus changes considerably, making it tricky to predict how tyres may perform on a given day.

CIRCUIT GILLES VILLENEUVE

Tyres As per the last race in Monaco, the soft and supersoft compounds have been nominated for this event. Around the streets of Monte Carlo, these compounds behaved very sensibly with no significant issues to report. However, Montreal is a much tougher circuit in terms of tyre duty and should provide a sterner test of this particular allocation. Weather Although the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix was very wet indeed, it stands as the only rain-affected race in Montreal since 2001. Although there have been wet sessions throughout a handful of weekends, Sundays have tended to remain dry. Reliability In terms of retirements, Montreal is above average for a number of reasons. The infamous ‘Wall of Champions’ has brought races to a premature end for many drivers, as has damage incurred through excessive

contact with the sizeable kerbs. However, the layout itself has traditionally proven the main factor as it is particularly tough on engines. The advantage for the teams in terms of countering this threat is that, with six races complete, the season now enters a new gearbox cycle window. Some teams may also elect to use fresh engines, as this could be seen as a benefit given the power sensitive nature of the circuit and the stress it places on components. Safety Cars Unsurprisingly given the potential for reliability issues, safety cars have traditionally been prevalent in Canada. Seven of the last 10 Canadian Grands Prix have been neutralised by a safety car at least once during the race: five in the case of 2011. Similar to Albert Park in Melbourne, removing a stricken car from the track quickly and cleanly is a tough task. In many locations, even a mechanical breakdown will require a Safety Car to neutralise the race.
