Adrian Newey: "Our preparation takes into account this is the hardest circuit on brakes on the calendar. Like most teams therefore we will be focussing some attention on our brake ducts and also running a smaller rear wing. We also now have to comply with a new Deflection Test introduced by the FIA to ascertain if your rear wing is flexing illegally. We tested our Montreal configuration on the last two days of a Ricard test before Monaco. The rear wing we ran at this test was a cut-down version of our Melbourne wing, so Montreal will be the first outing for our definitive low downforce rear wing.
We are also trying to get on top of our reliability problems that centred on gearbox electrics and hydraulics. I think we have moved forward on that front. David has a fresh engine for this race, while Mark is using the one he had in Monaco."
