Rusty pipes set to provide thrilling Canadian Grand Prix?

Rusty pipes set to provide thrilling Canadian Grand Prix?

According to a report in the Montreal Gazette, the water system that runs under the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is in a serious state of disrepair and has suffered 32 water pipe failures in the last five years.

The pipes, which… were laid as a temporary water supply for Expo 1967, could rupture at any moment, flooding the track and experts are working around the clock to find a solution.

However, race organisers, keen to shift the last few tickets, are allegedly planning to forget fixing the pipes, hoping that the excitement provided, should a bit of dodgy Canadian plumbing give way during the race, will make this one Grand Prix to remember.
