An immense storm has caused pandemonium and a delay to the third and final practice session in Toronto. As forecast on Friday, the bad weather set in but hit the track with its worst just as the session started, forcing cars to return to the pits immediately.
With very heavy rain accompanied by gusty winds, thunder and spectacular lightning strikes, the practice session was delayed and could be cancelled in the event of the bad weather not easing off, although it is believed that that it abate.
Event organisers also called for the evacuation of the metal grandstands around the circuit, with alterations to be made to the restarted session later which will allow all drivers to take part in order to adapt more to the wet conditions.
