Mark Webber is confident the Red Bull RB8 will go 🔯well in Canada, a grand prix he regards as one ofꦦ 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-ma♍te, 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 interesꦏting grand prix there for whatever reason, and last year was no exception," said the Aussie in the countdown to the seve♑nth round in the championship.

"It's a low downforce track with long straigh𝓀ts and high top speed, which is a different challe෴nge.

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

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

Vettel meanwhile is also a fan of the event and is similarly looki🐷ng 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 challenge for the drivers.

"Like the track in Albert Park in Australiꦦa, 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 r🌼ace dragged on due to the heavy🔜 rain - but it's a very good place to go racing."
