07 PREVIEW: GP CANADA 2013 CANADA

DRIVER QUOTE Tell us why you like the : The circuit has a nice rhythm and it’s one of the best races we have all year. The atmosphere and fans are great, the whole city lives F1 for the whole week and that makes us feel very special. I like it.

What’s your best memory from there (any era)? Obviously one of the craziest moments was in 2011. There was so much rain; I haven’t seen that much rain carry on for so long since! During the race we had a big break and were in the lead. The race was difficult and with half a lap to go, I made my first mistake of the race which cost us the win. But that’s racing and it’s probably great for the fans to watch when they don’t know who is going to win until the last moment.

DRIVER QUOTE Tell us why you like the Canadian Grand Prix: Canada is a really good race. It’s a popular Grand Prix for fans and drivers; the fans are very passionate and it’s always an interesting Grand Prix because it’s another street circuit. There are some very good restaurants in , the whole city stops for the race and the atmosphere is a bit more traditional I would say.

What’s your best memory from there (any era)? I haven’t been on the podium there yet, so I need to sort that out. It’s not a favourite memory, but I remember when (Nigel) Mansell retired on the last lap when he was in the lead. Also when won his only race there, that was good.

WORLD OF WORLD OF RED BULL RED BULL FLUGTAG

Red Bull Flugtag challenges the brave and brainy to design and build homemade flying machines. And then launch them off a 22-foot high flight deck in hopes of soaring into the wild blue yonder… or more often than not, plunging into the water below. Flugtag, which means “flying day” in German, pushes the envelope of human- powered flight and teams are judged on: flight distance, creativity

and showmanship. These criteria have inspired flying tacos, prehistoric pterodactyls and even winnebagos with wings to grace the Flugtag flight decks! The very first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria in 1992 and since then more than 100 Red Bull Flugtags have been held. Canada will host its own event on 27 July 2013 in Ottawa-Gatineau. But be quck! Applications close today (31 May). For more information: http://flugtag.redbull.com
