VCARB Optimistic for Canada Following Strong European Form
VCARB arrives in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend carrying positive momentum from a successful recent run of European races. The team's drivers, Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson, have expressed confidence that their car's strong performance can translate to the unique challenge of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
Fresh off a productive triple-header in Europe, which included a seventh-place finish for Hadjar at the Spanish Grand Prix, the team is looking to maintain its competitive edge. Hadjar's points finish in Barcelona marked a significant result for the young Frenchman and the team.
Despite the vastly different characteristics of the Montreal street circuit compared to the more traditional layouts seen recently, Hadjar sees no inherent reason why VCARB's current performance level should drop off. He acknowledged that it will be his first time driving competitively at the Canadian venue, describing it as a significant challenge, but remains optimistic based on the car's recent form.
His teammate, Liam Lawson, also anticipates a positive weekend. While also set to make his racing debut in Montreal, Lawson is enthusiastic about competing at the historic track, having previously attended the event as a reserve driver. He highlighted the circuit's long-standing place on the F1 calendar and its history of hosting significant moments.
Both drivers are targeting a strong showing, aiming to reach the crucial Q3 session in qualifying and challenge for points in Sunday's race. The team appears confident that the progress demonstrated in recent rounds provides a solid foundation for tackling the demands of the Canadian Grand Prix as they seek to add to their championship tally.
