A rack of Pirelli slicks in the damp paddock this morning. Will we see slicks or rain tires today for the Canadian Grand Prix? Best scenario? We see both.
They’re wrecking early and often as these words are typed at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the pint-sized F-1600s slipping around the wet circuit like a kid on skates for the first time.
The weather suggests it will be dry – or at least won’t be raining – by the 1 pm start of the 42nd Canadian Grand Prix. But the skies are leaden and leaking now and those hoping to stalk the paddock for the lovely women who arrive wearing clothes two sizes too small are going to be disappointed.
A total of three support races will precede the main event, Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel ready to lead the grid into the Senna Corner to begin 70 laps of racing that should be as unpredictable as always on this challenging layout.
More to come as the day drips on…
The media centre comes to life. Big news out of here: a starling that found its way into this huge tent yesterday and spent the night figured how to lurk near the door a short time ago and escaped when a reporter came in.
Wet race or dry awaits on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve?

Daddy-to-be Josh Duhamel is so excited about welcoming his first child that he’s begun to bond with wife Fergie‘s belly.
“I’ve had full conversations with the baby already,” Duhamel jokes to PEOPLE at Tuesday’s Nickelodeon upfront presentation in New York. “I’m trying my best to communicate from beyond the womb. Whether it can hear me, I don’t know, but I’m talking to it a lot.”
In addition to enjoying his chats with Fergie’s baby bump, the Safe Haven star, 40, admits he loves the Black Eyed Peas singer’s pregnancy glow.
“She looks so beautiful,” he says. “I look at her now as not only as my beautiful wife, but also as the woman carrying our child. That takes our relationship to a whole new level.”
As for dealing with the sleepless nights, diaper duty and constant feedings, the actor claims he’s up for the challenge.
“I actually look forward to that stuff that people warn you about,” he says. “I don’t mind waking up and dealing with the middle of the night stuff. I wake up early anyway. So I’m definitely ready for it. More so than I’ve ever been.”
There is one task Duhamel really wants to be ready for: ”I hope to be a great dad.”
“I have a lot more life experience than I had at 24. I feel like I’m a little more patient and more wise than I was before,” he explains. “It’s easier said than done, but I’m just looking to raise a good person.”
He adds, “When we saw the ultrasound, that thing was moving around a lot. So I think we are going to have our hands full.”
In the meantime, Duhamel will be busy preparing to host Nickelodeon’s 26th annual Kids’ Choice Awards, airing March 23 at 8 p.m..
“It’s truly bonkers what this show is going to be,” he says. “I’m trying to do things as a host that people would never expect me to do. So if people didn’t take me seriously before, they definitely won’t take me seriously now.”
