Well done, Carlos. Really strong pace today. Well done for fighting through all of that. Obviously, it's all yesterday where we didn't get it right, but I'm optimistic for our future.
CARLOS to PIT:
Thank you, James.
PIT to CARLOS:
Solid race. Unfortunate that we didn't hold that position Lap 1, but the rest of the race was solid with the management we asked of you. Very strong, good pace. A point and we were racing for a point today and we got it, good job mate!

Thank you.

Busy on track 🚦

Race
Welcome to the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, located on the picturesque island of Île Notre-Dame in Montreal, Quebec, for the Canadian Grand Prix.
With high-speed straights, challenging chicanes, and an iconic hairpin, this circuit is a favourite for drivers and fans alike.
The track seamlessly blends the essence of street circuit racing, with nearby walls threatening to bite, and the grass and gravel run-offs of dedicated circuits, to make this a rare best-of-both track for the drivers to try and master.
Circuit Overview:
Spanning 4.361 km (2.710 miles) with 14 turns, the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve begins with a short run to the first turn, with low-speed cornering and acceleration key to maximising Sector 1.
Chicanes and straights are the name of the game in the second sector, while the track ends with Sector 3 and it's Turn 10 hairpin, DRS straight, and the pinpoint final chicane.
Nicknamed the Wall of Champions, the exit of that chicane has caught out many a driver, including three world champions in the 1999 race, who had their Sunday prematurely end in the barriers.
