Mark Webber is confident the Red Bull RB8 will go well in Canada, a grand prix he regard🦹s as one of the top-five of the season.

Webber🅘 heads to Montreal off the back of a brilliant win in Monaco, a result that has propelled him right into the thick of the F1 2012 World Championship fight. Indeed he has now notched up the same amount of points as his team-mate, Sebastian Vettel, both on 73, and just 3 behind current leader, Ferrari number one driver, Fernando Alonso.

"I would say Montreal is one of the top five grand's prix of the year because it's a sensational atmosphere. It's a really, really good venue and always provides an intere🎃sting grand prix there for whatever reason, and l🌞ast year was no exception," said the Aussie in the countdown to the seventh round in the championship.

"It's a lo𝐆w downforce track with long straights and high top spe✃ed, which is a different challenge.

"We'll see how that unfolds, but we're very confident the car should work well round there. I love drivinꦺg the circuit.

"It's a good one to get our teeth into, a little bit like a street circuit, so I🥀'm l❀ooking forward to getting out there."

Vettel meanwhile is𒁃 also a fan of the event and is similarly looking forward to going racing at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve: "Montreal is a great city, everyone loves to go there - the atmosphere is always great," he added. "The track is on an island in the St. Lawrence river, and is a great challeღnge for the drivers.

"Like the track in Albert Park in Austꦡralia, the roads are public, so tyre wear can be high. There's also a lot of wear on brakes, which can cause us a headache.

"Last year the race dragged on due to the♎ heavy rain - but it's a very good place to go racing."
