That task was made harder on Friday, however, with practice canceled due to the rain, with a re-scheduled, shortened 25-minute session now giving drivers less time to hone in on the perfect setup before setting their qualifying laps.

It will certainly be interesting to see who comes out on top this time around, and with that said, let's get into the important information you need to know ahead of all of the action.
