After the debacle of Monaco, Ferrari will bounch back and win in the next race in Montreal, Ferrari boss Luca Montezmolo has said.

The race, on June 10, is important both for Ferrari to forget their Monaco disappointment, and for Kimi Raikkonen, who needs to get back to winning ways if he is to remain in the championship race, His first win of the season in Australia was the only sparkle that the Finn has managed to achieve since joining the Scuderia.

Team-mate Felipe Massa, on the other hand, will want to catch up and overtake the McLaren drivers, tied on points at the head of the table, five points more than the Brazilian.

Two days of testing at the Paul Ricard circuit configured for the Montreal race saw Ferrari heading, and Raikkonen, heading the timesheets, which is a good omen for the squad.

The Canadian circuit named after legendary driver Gilles Villeneuve will hold a commemoration to make the 25th anniversary of his death in Zolder, Belgium. Villeneuve never won a world championship but his brief career was remarkable for its thrills and spills.
