The view from the media centre at the Honda Indy Toronto was pretty much the same all day, grey, gloomy and rainy.

Some quotes from around the paddock after the cancellation of yesterday's race.

James Hinchcliffe (No. 27 United Fiber & Data Honda) - "I'm gutted. I just feel so bad for all the fans here in Toronto. It's the worst case scenario – the rain started right as the race was supposed to start, the conditions were just so bad. I've literally never in my career seen a race not run because of weather that wasn't an oval. Just gutted for the for these guys. I really hope we can get back tomorrow and Mother Nature cooperates a bit more and we can put on a show. These fans have been great all week and they definitely deserve it."

Helio Castroneves (No. 3 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet) - "Obviously we all wanted to get the race in today, but this was the correct call. We really tried to start the race but it was clear we were going to wreck a lot of cars. The PPG Chevy is very fast so whenever we start the race will be fine."

Graham Rahal (No. 15 National Guard Honda) - "The conditions were difficult today; you just couldn't see. And it's not a matter of racing because all of us want to. The problem is that it's got to be safe and when the visibility is like it was; there's just nothing you can do, you could hurt somebody. They made the right call. It's unfortunate for the fans but it is what it is. This is a great fan base and they're troopers for staying here. I feel terrible for them but there weren't many good options."

Juan Pablo Montoya (No. 2 Hawk Team Penske Chevrolet) - "I really hate it for the fans. You never want to feel like you cheated them, but you can't control the weather. But it was the right call. We were getting ready to have an expensive day for everyone with the cars we were going to wreck. The Hawk Chevrolet had a bit of an electrical issue, but we are good to go now. Looking forward to getting the race started."

Ryan Hunter-Reay (No. 28 DHL Honda) - "These conditions were tough for sure, I can't speak for the drivers in the back on how visibility was, but it was borderline – marginal even – for us. It's a shame we didn't get the race off, especially considering a couple of championship rivals ended up in pit lane just before we were going to go green. It would have been nice to capitalize on that opportunity, but understand the call for safety. Big thanks to all the fans that came out today and stuck with us, we look forward to putting on a good race for them tomorrow. "

Luca Filippi (No. 16 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda) - "The conditions were not ideal that's for sure. It's a bit strange that the only place that is not bumpy is the back straight and there is new asphalt but it doesn't drain the rain at all so with a lot of speed and the downforce of this car we had so much spray that even running seventh I couldn't see a thing. I think that in the back was even more dangerous. You reach a high speed and after that there is a slow hairpin. It's a bit of a shame because with a better surface you can easily race with rain like that. For our side it was a good day. In qualifying we did everything we could so we could so we will just wait and see what happens.
