Canada 2116
Here it comes .
Friday will be cool at 20 degrees Celsius , Saturday 19C , with a 70% chance of rain , and Sunday only 15C with a 30% rain chance .
That sounds like a pretty messed up grid , and a race where there are few tires ever getting to a proper racing temperature , and likely some wacky strategies .
The reds have new stuff , hoping to be a lot faster .
FI is hot right now , so could do some midfield damage in the standings .
The bulls have some momentum right now , and even if the package doesn't fit the track , a wet or cool track could bring good aerodynamics a little more to the fore .
Hell , all the minnows will be looking to score in the cool weather .
Can't wait .
Wish I was there . Good party . Maybe next year . Sigh .

It should be a good weekend, but I'm not sure I am willing to wait that long for it to start. By the way, your weather forecasting skills are good - never seen any that far out in the future before.

Looks like I'm well ahead of all you guys , eh ?
Alright then , let's look back 100 years from 2116 to the race weekend that starts tomorrow .
Strangely , the weather looks exactly the same , and the situation I described is almost identical , except that the cars have wheels and are not made of hemp .

I always love the Canadian GP. It always throws up some excitement. I think Mercedes will be ahead, but maybe the race will not be straight forward.

By then , it will be Eccleclone .
But , back to the present , kids .
Sorry to have confused you all .
We've just had the cold and wet they will be getting in Montreal , and it sucked .
I can't see anybody getting the temperature of the tires anywhere near optimum .
Seat pad for the cold butt will be really necessary for anyone going to the race .

Weather update has it up to 25C on Saturday , with no rain .
Then , it says it will rain through the night .
And , Sunday's temperature drops like a stone to 14C , and a 60% chance of rain .
There is going to be a lot of guessing going on .
Just hours before first practice , and I can't wait .

Lewis fastest by three tenths in first practice on supersofts against Nico on ultras .
Massa , with a malfunctioning DRS , wacks the barriers at turn 1 .
Under an hour until second practice .
