Canadian GP - Preview
World Champion Michael Schumacher left for North America with his wife,  Corinna,  last  Tuesday  in  order  to adjust to the  time  difference.
He said  "For us,  this  has  become  a  habit.  I  think  it  has been  ten  years  that  I  have  been  arriving early to take in the countryside  and the tranquillity of the place. Everybody knows  that  I  prefer  the countryside  to  the sea,  because we  feel  at  ease  in  the  open  air  and  so  we  really enjoy this  holiday.  The  best  thing  is  that  I  can  go  safe in the knowledge that in the meantime Ferrari is continuing to work hard.  I  know  that  I  can  trust  the  results  of the week’s testing. As other drivers have done, now I can also take time out  without  any  negative  consequences.  This is one of the great  things about  Ferrari: everyone realises how important it is to  rest  now  and  again  and  so the work is  spread out more  evenly."
"Obviously we are going out to win in Canada, as in every race. We have a great car whose qualities should be evident in Montreal. The circuit is one to which the F2003-GA should be perfectly suited; we only have to think back to our top speeds during the last race. The Canadian GP is one in which the performance of the engine counts a lot and this is one of our strengths. I believe that in this area Ferrari are ahead of all the other scuderia. We have a superb engine and I am very proud of the guys that developed it."
"I enjoy racing in Canada, even if Montreal isn’t the track best suited to my driving style. I like high-speed curves and here there aren’t any. So I can’t really explain why this race has always gone well for me. Maybe it’s because I feel so relaxed in Canada…"
