The safety car and the medical car are lapping the track to inspect conditions, as work continues at Turn 6 to clear the standing water. Still no sign of running getting going yet.

The latest from trackside: "There's a nice little puddle at the Turn 2 apex, the kind that a passing bus would undoubtedly run through to splash nearby pedestrians. Expect the drivers to take the karting line whenever running gets going."

Rain and motorsport really isn't making for a good mix lately. A hugely delayed start to the Indy 500, numerous cancellations and revisions at the Isle of Man TT and now this. Boo.

Track officials are trying to drain the standing water, some equipped with brooms and others in trucks with water hoovers (probably not the technical name) to suck up the big puddles. The bad news is that predicted rain looks like it is about to arrive.

It might be very wet and has puddles all over it, but the track has been completely resurfaced since last year. Not that it'll mean much until we actually get track running.

We're not saying FP1 in Canada is cursed, but 12 months ago it effectively lasted five minutes and was then cancelled due to a CCTV issue at the track. That was one of the weirder reasons for a session being canned.

Back to today's action. Esteban Ocon, who was put on the naughty step by Alpine for crashing into Gasly on the opening lap in Monaco, will hand over the keys to his car to Jack Doohan for this session as part of its FP1 rookie obligations. But the team and Ocon say the two aren't connected.

Away from the weather watching, here's the latest from the paddock. On Thursday, the 2026 regulations were revealed and the drivers had their say.

But it has stopped raining, for now, as the dark cloud has passed by after depositing its guts on the circuit. The weather forecast is mixed at best for the entire race weekend so wet running will be of value with an eye on Saturday and Sunday.

Small issue though: it is raining. A lot. Like, full fat rain and hailstones type of wet. So there might not be much running in this session.
