PRACTICE DEBRIEF: Why mixed conditions in Montreal mean it’s all to play for heading into the weekend

Weather conditions changed rapidly through the day, with the teams afforded only 30 minutes or so of running where they could consistently use dry weather tyres – but even then, the conditions were less than ideal.
