According to Premier Performance Division CEO Tony Purnell, Power and good drivers are required for a good result at Canada, fortunately Jaguar have both. “Power is very important there, just like in Austria, and we’re certainly not lacking in that area.It’s also a circuit where you can run a few notches down from the full downforce setting and we have another ace up our sleeve in Mark Webber. Mark is totally on form at the moment and if we need a couple of extra tenths from somewhere, he will deliver.”

“Tyres will, as always, be important. Michelin certainly has a bit of an advantage at the moment, as we saw at Monaco, and I think we have the edge over Bridgestone," he said. "If tyres are just a little bit better it makes such a difference. I think that without the tyre advantage it would be business as usual for Michael Schumacher so it’s nice to have a bit of an equalizer in the tyres, as it were.”
