Nyck De Vries and Kevin Magnussen were forced to abandon their cars as traffic chaos hit Montreal ahead of Sunday evening's Canadian Grand Prix.
The Formula One circus heads to Montreal to race on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but several drivers are struggling to simply make it to the circuit. De Vries and Magnussen both left their cars on the road and desperately headed to the paddock on foot, reports the BBC.
Thousands of fans are expected at the Grand Prix, with F1 already seeing their highest ever race attendance in Australia earlier this year. The track in Canada is effectively located on a small island in the St Lawrence River, meaning there are limited roads in and out.
Magnussen will line-up in 13th spot this evening whilst De Vries will be four spots further back in 17th. Magnussen's Haas team-mate Nico Hulkenberg put in an impressive performance in what was a rain-soaked qualifying session, registering the second fastest time, although he will begin in fifth after being hit with a penalty.
De Vries is currently still seeking the first points of the season having made the switch from Formula E in the off-season. Magnussen meanwhile has bagged just two points in the seven rounds thus far.
Max Verstappen, the championship leader, starts on pole position after he, once again, owned the wet conditions. Victory for the Dutchman will see him equal Ayrton Senna's total of 41 wins whilst registering Red Bull's 100th victory in the sport.
Fernando Alonso will line up in second with Lewis Hamilton just behind the Aston Martin driver. The Spaniard, who sits in third in the championship, has finished on the podium in five of the seven races, but is yet to take the top step this season. Alonso hasn't won a race since his Ferrari days, which dates back to the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix. He is hopeful of taking the chequered flag however, insisting Red Bull will eventually have to make a mistake on a race weekend.
He told Sky Sports on his hopes for the race: "First!...We will put some pressure on Max. I think he has been winning by 20 or 30 seconds every race, so hopefully a little bit closer than that - force an error or maybe a bad pit stop or something. Red Bull can't do everything perfect, so maybe Sunday is the day.
"We didn't see any [weaknesses with Red Bull]. This is outstanding what they are doing. We need to get better and learn from them. They are the best on basically everything - the pit stops, the starts, tyre warm-up, degradation, they have no weaknesses and Max has been driving outstanding all season. He's a tough competitor but it's a beautiful challenge."
