While the chassis setup requirements for the F1 tracks in Montreal and Indianapolis are somewhat similar, there are a number of differences between the two.

In Montreal, the drivers had the choice between the super-soft and the soft compounds of Bridgestone’s dry-weather tires. In Indianapolis, the choice will be between the soft and medium compounds.

“Obviously, that has an influence on the set-up, ” said Alex Wurz, who finished third in the Canadian Grand Prix driving his AT&T Williams-Toyota. “Temperature, grip level and friction level of the (Indianapolis) track is higher than here (in Montreal. )

“So I think the stiffness of the car can be different depending on what we did here. The curbing is more aggressive (in Montreal) so you have different setups and traction control and the differential.

“The details count, and even if it is a similar setup, it’s a completely different story. ”
