There’s a 40% chance of rain in FP2. 🤔

The weather affects the visor that a driver chooses to run on their helmet, with cloud cover determining which colour tint will help a driver to see more clearly. Fernando has this helmet ready in the garage incase of rain. #CanadianGP pic.twitter.com/84aVoeYhDA
