Montreal track is traditional: Kvyat

Formula 1 driver Daniil Kvyat said on Friday that the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve here, which hosts the Canadian Grand Prix annually, gives him a feeling of street racing but in a traditional way.

"It's quite intense but in a very different way. The straights are long but you have these big braking zones. It has a little bit of the feeling of street circuit because of the walls but it is more of a traditional, classic track," said the Red Bull driver.

"It has a unique feeling though and it's a great place for racing. It's great for drivers and the races are usually very exciting, so I'm looking forward to it."

The Canadian GP will be held here on June 7.

Asked about the atmosphere, the Russian said: "The atmosphere is always really good. It's a great crowd and they seem to really know a lot about F1, which is great."
