Hulkenberg ‘excited’ for Canada race

Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg believes that he can score some points at the Canadian Grand Prix.

The German missed out in Monaco after he was shunted into the wall by Fernando Alonso, but he insists that the Montreal circuit is suited to his car.

He told reporters: “I am looking forward to getting back to racing in Canada after leaving Monaco empty-handed. I feel we could have been in the points but obviously the incident on the first lap robbed us of a chance to maximise our result.

“The track in Montreal should be one that suits us. It’s a power circuit because of the long straights and you need good traction to get out of the low-speed corners.

“To be quick you need to attack the kerbs and be brave enough to get close to the walls. We will have soft and supersoft tyres again, which worked quite well for us in Monaco, so I think we can target points this weekend.”

Force India plan to unveil a b-spec car for the British Grand Prix next month, and it is a case of damage limitation in the early part of the season in comparison to their rivals.
