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.
Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
Let’s revive Bernie’s sprinkler idea.
These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.
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.
Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done
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.
Nothing to lose everything to gain, and they took the opportunity brilliantly.
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.
Vowles’ experience shows
“There’s a surprising number of cars out there, considering this is approaching biblical”
- Alex Jaques
“Good weather for a duck”
- Valtteri Bottas
What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz
Go on Albon!
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
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.
To be fair he never went to the softs. A question for AM themselves perhaps?
Send him to WEC. He’s clearly got the talent for a top drive in any series except F1.
You think at some point he’ll throw his hat out. This must be killing his professional pride, if he has any.
Perez has bottled it.
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.
He has one lap to save it.
He didn’t…

Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely

Top 3
HAM 1:13.718
RUS +0.027

Seems like lemmy.ml is having some trouble pushing out comments to other instances from this post 😬 Many comments here are missing on other instances
Might make sense to host these threads on a less overloaded instance?
Jepp I sadly have the same problem.
Are comments from other instances coming through alright though?
