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, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

[–] Tronso@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

What a clusterfuck that was at the end.

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.

"There's a surprising number of cars out there, considering this is approaching biblical"

  • Alex Jaques

"Good weather for a duck"

  • Valtteri Bottas
[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Go on Albon!

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

That was amazing :D

I want one!

[–] MrStrawberry@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 3 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.

Q1 resultsTop 3: VER ALO HAM

Eiminated: TSU GAS DEV SAR ZHO

[–] Tronso@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Q2 resultsFastest: ALB VER NOR
Eliminated: LEC PER STR MAG BOT

exactly as expected

[–] MrStrawberry@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

So one-lap-shootout coming up.

[–] JCPhoenix 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.

Edit: Not a great start for F1, period. Broken track cameras? Really? Sigh.

Edit2: Bottas P1! Technically...

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For those of us in Canada I hope one day we get coverage without Ads... That's my favorite part of the US GP weekends. :D

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

We had ads in the UK for a few years. I hated coming back to the race to Murry Walker announcing "drama in the German grand prix..." only to get a replay of a major incident. I feel for you buddy!

Leclerc eliminated because Ferrari decided not to switch to softs when he wanted to. Stop inventing!

[–] clara@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

wait, just tuned in, what the fuck happend?

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] clara@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

makes sense... RIP LEC tho :^(

[–] Tastyzero 2 points 1 year ago

Rain and also a poor tire decision by Ferrari.

[–] Rumblestiltskin@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?

[–] Tastyzero 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Tronso@feddit.de 3 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.

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] JCPhoenix 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

This is partially what got me into Premier League soccer. I was already up early on the weekends with my daughter, I want to watch live sports in the AM!

What's French for "clutch"? I don't know, and it appears Alpine don't either.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I can guarantee Max is not letting anyone pass him on the outlap.

[–] unomar@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I look forward to McLaren raising my hopes, and then dashing them quite expertly.

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

🟥 Red flag. Ocon stopped with some mechanical issue, told to stop the car by radio.

[–] Varyag@lemm.ee 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...

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases

Top 3HAM 1:13.718
RUS +0.027
SAI +0.126

[–] abclop99 2 points 1 year ago

RIP Ferrari engine :(

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Q2, with more rain coming

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Red flag, Piastri on the wall as Hülkenberg gets P2

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Technical issues for Zhou, that was quick

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's effectively over now with Hulk on the front row?

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Session probably restarts, but if rain continues track will be slower.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Tsunoda has been an absolute menace haha!

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Starting to rain, and most drivers on softs

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Who had Hulk starting P2 then?
