A grey and wet morning in Montreal

(GMM) A cold, grey and rainy morning has dawned in Montreal, where across the bridge to the Il Notre Dame this weekend's Canadian grand prix will be held.

After a pleasant Wednesday, a wintery and wet day is expected throughout Thursday, although some reports indicate that the first day of action on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve layout may take place under sunnier skies.

Weather forecasts say qualifying on Saturday and then Sunday's grand prix may also be wet.
