OPINIONS OF THE FIRST THREE PLACES
Sebastien Bourdais: Was an funny race, as always. It is a place that exhausts much to you, drags to you until the knees, but when you can obtain it, one feels very well. I believe that all were tired to the latest. But the McDonald's car was fast and that is everything what concerns .
Graham Rahal: has been a solid weekend for all the Medi equipment|Zone. The today race was another good action. Although I had a good exit, but when it was next to Justin, I realized of which Neel was within him. So the first part of the race was to persecute them. And we kept the greater amount from possible fuel, and with that we obtained .
Justin Wilson: Was a hard race and releases. She was very funny and we gave everything what we had, but was not sufficient. Equipment CDW did a fantastic work all the weekend and I am very contented to have another one here podio in Edmonton for CDW and all our partners .
