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.

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Just the perfect timing. Got the tyres into the temperature window before the rain got stronger. Not sure if those who put on the softs late will be caught out by the rain now.

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] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

As an American, I greatly dislike the later times when races are on this side of the world. I don't mind waking up like 6,7,8am or whatever to watch a session. Or even staying up very late til like 4am. Even on Fridays for FP1 and FP2.

Idk, I like getting F1 "out of the way" so to speak, then I can do whatever else I need to do for rest of the day.

Like right now, it's 12:30p for me. That's not terrible since it's lunch time. But FP2 is at like 4pm; I tend to take a nap around then. If I was still working from the office, I'd be leaving the office around then.

Go on Albon!

Stroll just isn't cutting it on Aston Martin anymore. Maybe his dad can give him a cushy office job so we can get a competent driver.

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

Send him to WEC. He's clearly got the talent for a top drive in any series except F1.

Wow, can't believe just a few races ago we were talking about whether this would be Perez year. And he is not even close to Verstappen.

Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely

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

Nice amount of impeding today.

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

yay, full wets!

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

Wow, Perez missings another Q3. Changing conditions give you some excuses, but overall that is not a good look against a team mate that is dominating the championship.

What’s great weekend. Canadian GP, US Open, and the Ashes. F in the chat for my wife and kids’ TV time please.

[–] [email protected] 4 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.

[–] clara 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

wait, just tuned in, what the fuck happend?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Rain, if I were to answer in just one word.
