Montreal could be wet

With the Formula 1 community having already been greeted by a large Thursday thunderstorm in Montreal, more showers are forecast to hit the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve across the weekend. Canada last experienced a wet race in 2000, with Michael Schumacher leading home Rubens Barrichello in a Ferrari one-two.

For 2011, maximum weekend temperatures are being predicted at anything between 57-68°F, with rain expected on Saturday before heavier showers arrive for Sunday.

Friday practice is expected to remain dry.
