Honda expect difficult time in Canada
Posted On Sunday, June 1, 2008 at at 3:18 AM by arhontHonda team principal Ross Brawn has played down the team's chances of repeating their Monaco success in Canada this weekend. The team are high on confidence after Rubens Barrichello scored his first Championship points of the season with his sixth-place finish in Monte Carlo. However, Brawn believes the team will have a challenging weekend in Montreal due to their lack of top speed. "We were pleased with the pace and performance of the RA108 around Monaco last week and it was encouraging to score further points, particularly with Rubens for the first time this season," Brawn said. "However Canada is a completely different challenge and the downforce levels required are medium to low, the opposite of Monaco. "Although I am pleased with the progress that the team has made over the last few races, we have been lacking the speed necessary to really maximise long straights, so it will be up to us to get the most from the performance that we have available in the car. "I am expecting a more challenging weekend than in Monaco."
