The Canadian GP is scheduled to take place from 17-19 June at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal
Montreal is set for mixed conditions throughout the race weekend, with rain showers forecast for Friday, before staying dry and warm on Saturday and Sunday. Highs of 21 degrees Celsius are predicted on Sunday for the start of the race, eight degrees colder than the Azerbaijan GP last time out.
24 degrees celsius is the highest temperature predicted all weekend and that will come on Friday, which also sees the highest chance of rain. Current forecasts say that there is a 60% chance of rain during the day in Montreal, which could leave the drivers having to deal with some wet running.
Things get a bit cooler on Saturday with highs predicted of 21C and it also could be a drier one than Friday with just a 20% chance of rain being forecast.FP3 and qualifying take place on Saturday and after potential wet conditions on Friday, FP3 could be hugely important as the drivers try and get some dry running in before qualification.
The settled conditions continue on Sunday according to forecasts. There’s again a high predicted of 21C and the chance of rain is once again at 20%, which means very similar conditions could play out over the two weekend days.
