Sergio Perez admits that he is positive following the first two practice sessions in Montreal. The Mexican ended both sessions fifth and tenth while his teammate also showed some pace, suggesting the Force India's are in for a good weekend.
Perez will be hoping to bounce back from the struggles of Monaco. The former Sauber and McLaren driver was involved in a number of incidents that ultimately left him outside of the points, the first time he's failed to score any since Hungary 2016.
"A positive day. We are right up there where we expect to be in the top ten and I’m feeling comfortable with the balance and set-up changes we made during the day. We saw a lot of cars spinning, but that’s what happens with these cars and tyre compounds when you push to the limit.
"Also, the track was quite dirty and the windy conditions made things more difficult. A strong qualifying performance tomorrow is going to be very important because overtaking here is not easy and I think the strategy options on Sunday will be quite limited."
