Heidfeld slams Montreal safety

Wed 11-06 2003

Nick Heidfeld wants changes made to Montreal’s final corner.

The Sauber star had a heavy accident at the turn in 2001 while, two years earlier, it claimed three world champions in the space of one race. Jacques Villeneuve, Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher all crashed out at the corner.

Heidfeld said: "The last corner before the start/finish straight has had a high kerb the last couple of years and if you go over too much it is high enough to damage the car - I hope that´s changed.

"You have to be careful coming into that corner because the guy in front might be going into the pits. The entry speed is very high and you could get caught out if you judged your braking on the car in front only to find it is going into the pits and doesn´t have to make the corner."

However, Heidfeld remains a fan of the circuit and is hoping for a good result.

He said: "I like Canada, it´s a nice place and our car has always been quite competitive there in the past two years.

"The track is quite quick so we run low levels of downforce, and you need good brakes. Last year a couple of cars lost points because of brake problems.

"In places the track is narrow and lacks run-off areas, especially in the second chicane. The corner under the bridge out the back is very bumpy and you have to be very careful there, but overall I quite like the place."
