Montreal, critical weather forecast: water for the whole weekend | FP

Open umbrellas

In the long history of the Canadian Grand Prix, several tests or races have taken place in bad weather conditions, one of which made Gilles Villeneuve become a legend in 1981. It was on that occasion that the home idol covered a large part of the race with the damaged front wing, which almost completely blocked his vision for a few laps, but he still crossed the finish line in 3rd place. Today, on that same circuit Montreal which bears his name, the chances of seeing an entire race weekend in the rain are quite high.
