Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to the Canadian Grand Prix Weekend thread.

Details about this race can be found here.

Sessions

This thread will cover all the sessions this weekend, so that's all 3 practice sessions, qualifying, and the race.

We will monitor how this goes to see if we need more granularity.

Spoilers

The rules around spoilers are not yet in place, therefore we won't be enforcing anything around spoilers this weekend. This goes beyond the scope of this thread too.

If you do not want spoilers, please do not look in this community this weekend.

The aim is to have a finished set of rules ready by mid next week.

These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Between Alonso and almost everybody else. Stroll was nowhere, but Alonso in his 40's is sharper than 75% of the current grid. His reactions when the car snaps on him is unbelievable.

What a clusterfuck that was at the end.

Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I respect it. They saw a small window to put in some fast laps on softs and they capitalized on it in a big way.

Go on Albon!

how do y'all feel about race weekends with these later than usual session start times?

I hate them, give me my 8-9am sessions!
How about you Euros/Asians? Are these times better or worse?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.

Sainz should get even more then a 3 grid penalty. This was not only impeading, but crazy dangerous.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The penalty is given for the infringement, not the outcome. Not that I disagree with you, but that is how the rules are applied.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah sure. I honestly don't expect anything else. But they should really add some additional penalties for this very dangerous maneuvers.

Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Williams dominance could bore fans

Q2, with more rain coming

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What an action-packed FP1!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Edge of the seat stuff!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Aw, man, went to commercial right as Gasly was about to tell everybody how he felt about Sainz being in the middle of the track.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I almost forgot we were in RAWE CEEK! Came here to see that the sessions are already going to be very wet. Hope not another one gets put into red flag hell again...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Russel has to retire with break issues

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably just me but this thread wasn't easy to find on chrome android or jerboa, even though it's pinned?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, pinning a comment seems pretty meaningless at the moment because Lemmy doesn't seem to be respecting the pinned status.

Starting to rain, and most drivers on softs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If the rain picks up now and the softs take 2 laps to get to working temperature, those who just came in might lose out heavily.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FIA: It's raining

Drivers: It's not raining

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

2 minutes later: Track is flooding

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh boy, really hoping Alpine are just getting their mechanical issues out of the way before the race. Not a good sign with both cars bringing out the red flags...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hulkenfire!
