Amit Mandalia: I don’t recall if we’ve ever seen Leclerc fighting his way through the field before so that’s going to be interesting tomorrow
Peter: Surely Leclerc will just do a couple of laps in Q3, then park it. No point in stressing an already delicate engine more than necessary?

Steady as you goes will be the call for all drivers. George Russell gets us under way with a 1:36.688 to go top.

Williams reserve driver on BBC Radio 5 Live"There's a lot more spray coming up than we saw in FP3. The cars will clear a lot of water but right now the conditions look terrible"

The spray coming off the surface of the track is ridiculous.
Message for Lewis Hamilton: "Plan is to get a time on the board nice an early, with the high risk of yellows and reds."

Wet weather tyres for all.
Sergio Perez needs a bit of a push to get out of the pit lane safely.

BBC Radio 5 Live F1 commentatorI'm interested to see what Charles Leclerc does. I can't see any point in him doing anything, to be honest. Obviously, doing a lap in order to qualify, but getting knocked out in Q1 seems fine.

With the track taking a soaking and conditions still unpredictable, perhaps a Carlos Sainz or a George Russell could add their names to the maiden winner's list this weekend?

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has been a fruitful place for these two seven-time world champions.
Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher are level on pole positions and race wins but the German driver just edges the Mercedes man when it comes to podium appearances.
Image source, Getty ImagesHamilton heads the stats for points claimed at the Canadian track (185). However, it's Sebastian Vettel who slots into second place on that list with 166 points won, 48 more than his great friend and mentor Schumacher.

A fan has brought their baby, must only be a few months old, to the track today. They are safely tucked up in a car seat, with a rain cover protecting them from the drizzly weather, fast asleep.
The mechanics in the Red Bull garage, meanwhile, are hurriedly working on Sergio Perez's car as the Mexican watches on.
How many races is too many?published at 20:49 British Summer Time 18 June 2022
Following the news South Africa could make a return to the Formula 1 calendar next year, and with the glitzy Las Vegas Grand Prix already rubber stamped for November, we could potentially be looking at a mammoth, 24-race season in 2023.
I asked you during yesterday's live text whether you thought it was good idea to add more races, or a bad idea.
The majority hit the down thumb to let us know you think a bloated calendar is not the way forward.
