Hamilton looks to extend lead over Raikkonen

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Twelve months ago in Canada, Lewis Hamilton broke his duck. Now he's looking to make it two wins on the spin after his triumph in Monte Carlo.

Starting from his maiden pole position a year ago, the rookie Briton belied his inexperience to shrug off four safety-car periods amid the usual chaos of the Montreal race to take the checkered flag for the first time.

And coming off the back of his Monaco triumph last time out, Hamilton is focused on taking home another 10-point maximum haul in his McLaren on Sunday.

"We have good momentum right now and we are pushing to keep that going and to keep developing," said the world championship leader.

"Last year in Canada was one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. To take my maiden pole and victory in F1 was incredible.

"It would be great to go back there and do the same."

Last year's race was also notable for Robert Kubica's horror crash, which destroyed the Pole's BMW-Sauber.

But Kubica, who took second place in Monaco and lies fourth in the championship, has long put the incident behind him.

"I don't have to cope with anything because it's already a year ago and since then I have been driving an F1 car without thinking about it," he said.

"We go to Canada, which is one of my favorite tracks, and I'm just going there as I go to any other race with the goal to score as many points as possible."

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve was not a lucky venue for Ferrari in 2007.

Kimi Raikkonen could not better fifth, while team-mate Felipe Massa was black-flagged for leaving the pits under a red light.

Raikkonen, though, is expecting more this time round.

"Although I didn't collect any points in the last race [Monaco], thus losing the lead in the championship, it's not the end of the world," he said on Ferrari's official Web site.

"Now we have to go to Montreal and fight back. I'm convinced that we'll have a better car than last year."

Meanwhile, Honda boss Ross Brawn is not confident the team's car can propel drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello into the points around the high-speed track.

"Although I am pleased with the progress that the team has made over the last few races, we have been lacking the speed necessary to really maximize long straights," said Brawn.

"I am expecting a more challenging weekend than in Monaco."
