Driver comments

Biscayne Bay next to the AmericanAirlines Arena

Franck Montagny, Andretti: "We can expect a very good event there because, looking at the track, there will be quite a few long straights and slow corners so this will help for overtaking for sure. Turns 1, 2 and 3 will be the tricky part of the circuit where we shall have to look after the car and be careful of contact, for example. It looks as though we shall be able to attack at turns 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and in to 1 - these are the corners to make some moves on."[1]
