Sergio Perez says he's eager to put the disappointment of Monaco behind him by showing what Force India can do in Canada this weekend.
Perez looked set to score in Monaco after qualifying a strong ninth, however a problematic early pit-stop cost the Mexican driver time and dropped him down the order which, around the tight streets of Monte Carlo, is nigh on impossible to recover from.
Perez eventually finished outside the points in 12th and is looking to make up for that disappointment in Montreal where he has often done well, including a fifth-place finish in 2017 and a podium finish in 2012.
"I was disappointed not to get the result I think we deserved in Monaco," said Perez. "The car was quick, but the luck wasn’t on my side.
"We are becoming more competitive with each race weekend and I want to get back in the car to forget Monaco.
"I enjoy visiting Canada and I have some very good memories from Montreal. I finished on the podium there in 2012 in one of the most exciting races of my career, and I’ve had some other strong performances there, including last year."
In contrast, team-mate Esteban Ocon is hoping to replicate his Monaco performance this weekend after taking his second points finish of the season with sixth place.
"I am feeling very happy after Monaco," said the Frenchman. "It’s great to finally get a good result after a few difficult races and I feel my season has only truly started now.
"We have taken some good steps forward since the start of the season and I am looking forward to more races like the one we had in Monaco."
