i think the times could lower to 1.13~1.14 for last practice and pole time to maybe 1.13 or 1.12's.....unless it rains :)
Yeah, it is turning out to be regular pattern ..

Mercedes have revised F-duct ..seems to be working better :)

Who will take pole and the win? McLarens will be very strong.But u cant count out the Redbulls.Maybe they will bring a surprise in quali again.

What can the midfield teams do?Try to capitalize on the mistakes from the front runners and grab some points.

Is this the new teams chance for a point?Maybe if the weather plays its parts or if there is a big mishap amongst the frontrunners.

Will the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve spring a surprise?Maybe becuase since 2007 its been a circuit where u cant predit the order till the last lap.Anything can happen

What's interesting is that Red Bull have shown their hand on a Friday - something they don't usually do :O

Saturday wet, Sunday dry?
Saturday will dawn very wet as overnight showers become heavy, merging into longer spells of rain. The rain will at its most intense just before the final practice session. As the forecast stands, final practice is set to take place on a fully wet circuit. As the morning develops the prolonged rain should become more showery, but the risk will last until around the start of qualifying - give or take an hour or so.

Saturday afternoon will see conditions improve as the frontal system clears away to the east, but it could be at late as 17:00 local time - some hours after qualifying - before the track is completely dry again. Temperatures should hold up whatever happens tomorrow, with a maximum of 23 degrees Celsius.

The size and movement of the rain to the west is such that we will be tracking its movement over the coming hours, and if there are any changes to the written forecast, we will publish a further flash update later tonight.

Race day now looks to have much less weather drama surrounding it. The rain on Saturday will clear to the south-east of Montreal but is expected to stall just over the border. It will remain cloudy for much of the day and there is a slight chance of some light sprinkles - a lot like we saw today during the two practice sessions. The maximum temperature will once again reach 23 degrees.

Bridgestone are predicting that all tams will have to run two stoppers.

That's excellent, the race being tough on tyres, brakes and fuel consumption makes it a lottery and a potential cracker. Reminds me of the 1997 race, we had lots of accidents and lots of different strategies because of tyre degredation. We'll hopefully see something similar tomorrow.

Both Virgin and Chandhok have tweeted to say that rubber put down yesterday has been washed away

In other words: qualifing will be like friday practice. I'm very curious to see who's fast in quali. Especially because of the weather predictions for today.

According to all things said before race,and quali,its gonna be just a fantastic race.

Even if all guys drive full 60mins of FP3 it wont be enough rubber to make the circuit good enough for quali. It could be a lottery.

And last predictions tell that the rain can mix it up even more.

Should be a very interesting quali. It's looking as though the race will be very good at this stage.

Force India say light rain today, dry qualifying session. Lack of rubber will still make for an interesting time though. I reckon its gonna be a crashfest
