After the (extra) slow circuit of Monaco, the 5th round of the championship will see much faster action. The remarkable fact that both, qualifying and race records, are from 1995/96 may indicate that those times will be hard to beat still. But being on the hunt for a fast race is one thing - finishing is another: Last season, only six of 15 drivers did not retire early, and the previous seasons too made clear that Montreal really is a risky circuit.
