Weather not looking great.

[goingthedistance]

Looking wet, wet, wet. Going to be a dull Friday I fear. Saturday looking wet and even Sunday now has potential for showers.

which website are you looking at?

[jrg19]

All the teams tweeting about the wet weather, guess there little to no running as they aren't given enough wet tyres.

[KWSN - DSM]

If just rain and not a downpour, we should be in for a good race, unless they decide that a wettish track is not something the best drivers in the world can handle and let them trundle around behind a pacecar.

A very likely scenario.

[Cavani]

how many wet weekends we have thus far ? australlia,malaysia,monaco 3 out of 6 thats a lot

[boldhakka]

Is the track prone to standing water, or is the draining quite good?

http://weather.gc.ca...7_metric_e.html

Though the one recommended yesterday - http://weatherspark.com/#!dashboard;a=Canada/QC/Montreal - indicates the race may be dry, with the rain petering out at midday.

The amount of rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday is currently very light. But I never trust the actual amount forecasts much.

then teams would come out to make preparation for wet quali/race

but i worry if wet tyre stock will run out

Uncertain with it being a street track basically. Obviously 2011 it just rained so hard for so long that drainage just went out of the window, so it'd be unfair to compare to then. In terms of lighter rain, or moderate levels of rain, again, not sure really. Luckily it looks very unlikely that Sunday will see rain like we saw when they red flagged the race in 2011, when clearly it was too wet to carry on behind the SC (especially when we saw just how quickly the track became flooded all around)

Either the TV information is wrong or the BBC are only showing highlights of FP1?

It starts at 3 and the tv info has it down for 3:45?

Either they are showing highlights or simply not showing half of it?

[SamH123]

yeah strange..
It says "All the action" on my tv guide as well.

Live online from 2:55, BBC2 from 3:45

Increasing wet weather? Mmmmmmmm...must be a result of that nasty global warming bulltish I read about so often.

[Kelateboy]

What a downer with the weather.....

[Longtimefan]

Live online from 2:55, BBC2 from 3:45

I'd like to know how that is 'all the action'

[TomNokoe]

3 sets of inters and 3 sets of wets? That is just not enough for a weekend.

[Roscoe]

I'd like to know how that is 'all the action'

To be fair it doesn't all on TV, it says "Live across BBC TV, radio and online".

[HuddersfieldTerrier1986]

The worst thing is that from 3-3.45pm instead of F1 practice live (or the first half of it anyway), they're showing.........a repeat of Springwatch.

[Longtimefan]

To be fair it doesn't all on TV, it says "Live across BBC TV, radio and online".

As the poster above, it says 'all the action from free practice one' on my screen.

Oh well, guess I'll just stream fp1 from sky.

[TomNokoe]

We aren't going to see any action!

[Roscoe]

Fair enough I must be on a different page.

Sky coverage is better anyway[/controversial]

[TomNokoe]

I reckon Hamilton will be bouncing over a few last chicance kerbs.

[Kelateboy]

Puddles of standing water especially near Turn 11. It is not raining anymore....

[Longtimefan]

We aren't going to see any action!

That's probably true but besides the point

If it's bbc you want, why dont you watch their stream?

[ExFlagMan]

Looks like thats it for testing the new tyre construction!

[smitten]

Oh well, guess I'll just stream fp1 from sky.

Or the red button on BBC right now.

[Baddoer]

Am i the only one who pissed off with these stupid split screens on sky

[Roscoe]

Danger, danger! Romain's out and about!

[oldracer1957]

BBC red button LIVE (Channel 301 FreeView)

[TomNokoe]

Its a cool feature but I don't prefer it. I don't mind at the minute because there's no real action.

[Xeriks]

I can't stand it!

Its a bit irritating seeing Perez in a yellow helmet driving McLaren at Montreal... (just saying...)

Lets hope the warring McLarens don't continue otherwise I'll be having flashbacks to 2011

2011? Oh you mean the Sunday Button claimed he didnt see DeLa Rosa, Hamilton and Alonso?

[SamH123]

Gutierrez is getting shaken to pieces

[ElDictatore]

Which one is the inter and which one the full wet again?
I thought the blue one is the inter (Reference to Inter Mailand) but the german presenter just said it's the other way round.

[SamH123]

Blue = Full wet
Green = Intermediate

Seems like a bit above, so Helmet i would guess.

Blue = Full wet
Green = Intermediate

Thanks!

Don't know what it is about her, and tbh it would be great to have a quality female driver in the sport at some point, but Susie Wolff really grates on me. (She's on the BBC Coverage)

[Shiroo]

I wonder when sauber will say that indeed Gutierrez isn't a driver that should be in F1. I have no doubts that money that he brings, soon, won't be enough

[JensonWDC]

Rosberg is sensational this year!!

[SamH123]

No surprise to see Torro Rosso up there in the inter conditions
Strange how they are suddenly transformed the moment there is water around

And not only this year. Some people were just blind not to see it.

Especially years with Schumacher.
