Fernando Alonso is ready to get to his ‘day job’, a.k.a. racing in the Formula 1 world championship. The Spaniard had an eventful month of May, during which he competed in the Indianapolis 500. Fernando did not finish – due to an engine proble, but he won the hearts of the audience and paddock in the United States. Now he goes to a more familiar ground: the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit in Canada.

“It’s good to be heading back to Canada – it feels like I’ve spent a lot of time in North America recently!”, Fernando Alonso commented.

“The Indy 500 was an incredible experience and it’s been amazing to learn a completely different style of driving, on a different circuit layout and with a very different car, but I’m ready to get back to my ‘day job’ and go racing in F1 again.”

“I’ve always enjoyed the Canadian Grand Prix. The circuit is unique in that it’s very demanding on both the car and driver, so it’s a real racer’s track. While I was in Indy I was still keeping up-to-date with the news from Monaco, and Stoffel and Jenson both reported positively on the new upgrades and reliability, so I hope we can continue to see a step forward in Canada.”

Fernando Alonso: “I’m ready to get back to my ‘day job’”

“The layout of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve means it’s very power-limited and therefore dependent on straight-line speed and power. It’s not going to suit our car as much as the twisty, slower corners of Monaco. But it’s exciting to get back in the MCL32, catch up with the guys and girls in the team and get back out on track – not only turning left this time!”
