And if he doesn't finish i'll eat my hat if he hasn't been replaced by Silverstone!

Sounds like a safe bet to me! Rain forecast for the whole weekend.

Canada is forecast as a wet race? Cool!

just checked the weather in montreal right now and it looks like it could be a wet practise session. Which probably means very little running, unless the teams think it's going to rain on sunday and want to get some knowledge of the track in the wet

Which I would have thought, 40% chance of rain on sunday.

Track is looking very treacherous, and its not even very wet, just damp.
Button taking a trip across the grass, piquet not braking for the hairpin.
Alonso looks like he's taking the session off with pictures of him on the pit wall.

 

[tonyyeb]

Interesting session. BMW popping up at the end with some quick times.

I take it the track dried out? Times were a lot faster when I got home compared to when I left the office.

yup, everyone came out with 10-15mins left to take advantage of a relatively dry track. Still a few leary moments
