HRF1 (CANADA) - PRE-RACE COMMENTS

The Honda Racing F1 Team heads to the lively city of Montreal this week for the Canadian Grand Prix, the first of the two North American races, with the United States Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway following just one week later. Honda Canada is once again a major sponsor of the Canadian Grand Prix and will have a significant presence over the race weekend with activities at Crescent Street in downtown Montreal and at Honda World, a spectacular circuit-based exhibition designed to bring race fans closer to Honda's innovations in the environment, safety and technology.

SHUHEI NAKAMOTO - Senior Technical Director "We are pleased that the RA107 is continuing to show positive signs as a result of all the team's hard work. At the last race in Monaco, the drivers were able to appreciate the improvements and take the most performance possible out of the car. However the next race in Canada is a completely different challenge and downforce levels are very different, so we have to set the car up to suit the specific demands of this track.
