Well it's chucking it down with rain here in the UK (inb4 weather stereotype) so it better be raining in Montreal!
 
Lobato (spanish tv host) said an hour ago it was raining, and half an hour ago that if it continues to rain there won't be DRS. Lots of crashes on Porsche Cup as well.

Hmm, I'd gladly take my rain before DRS.

EDIT: Autosport radar guru twitter:
#F1 radar update Sunday 10:27 EDT: The light rain will become much heavier over the next hour as another band sweeps through from the SW.

After what happened last year with Hamilton the only guy out there wanting to race, I wouldn't put it beyond some of these pussies asking for a SC.

I don't want a SC start though.
Me too, but then this isn't a new track that chucks the water everywhere so it should be ok.

McLaren were right though, they made the bet for rain and they got it spot on, now it's up to Hamilton and Button to show that they can compete in the wet conditions. One thing's for sure, all bet's are off, this will not be a Vettel serenade this afternoon.

That was brilliant last year. Hamilton on the radio "Nah, it's about inter weather" when everyone else wanted the race stopped due to the conditions, brilliance.

"Change in climatic conditions" declared by FIA so the teams can change brake and cooling ductings.

Its really bucketing down now with the drivers on the parade lap getting soaked!

McLaren, Mercedes & Williams on wet weather setups.

Rain + Massa = loads of fun (for spectators)

Nico, The Old One, Barichello and Heidfield are also on wet setup. And maybe even Webber.

Should be interesting. The Ferrari's were most definitely be crying now, Vettel maybe too. Either way, a bit of wet always makes for the drama.

Will be be seeing a certain Japanese driver storm the field again? I hope he went for a wet setup!

Ok, hopefully there will be no rain red flag today.
Only slightly raining at the moment, Sky guys are standing in the pit lane, doesn't look that wet -- might not even be intermediate conditions right now. Guess that might change over the next hour, we'll see.

yup it's raining now in Montreal. It poured a few minutes ago, but right now it's light rain. I will say that the sky is very gray.

Cloud cover was forecast to be 80%-100% all day over the circuit. Chance of rain throughout the race had high percentages as well

Right now. The rain is moving up and right (Northeast). The more intense rain (yellow-orange) might miss Montreal.


Anyone got a clean stream? looks like SPEED is not showing the race today.

Seconded.

I‘m glad you guys finally have a reliable way to watch the BBC coverage. Enjoy it. There‘s suppose to be a great feature involving Schumacher coming up.

This should be a great race, although it feels really weird having a race at 6pm in the afternoon here in the UK lol.

is it me or does bbc never have any ads?

rtl7 here in holland has one every 5 min or so i think

No ads during programs, that's what the license fee is for.
There are ads for other BBC programs in between shows.

Their documentaries are also exceptional, especially the nature ones.
