"There's a surprising number of cars out there, considering this is approaching biblical"
"Good weather for a duck"
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.
What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz
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.
This new wall in the wet is pushing drivers out on to the racing line when they rejoin.
If its wet during the race, this has some dreadful implications.
Yeah, those rejoins look really unsafe. This might cause a massive lap 1 incident even in the dry. Or when dive-bombing into turn 1 (which I don't like, but it happens quite regularly here) goes worng, this might force contact instead of a bail-out.
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?
UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.
FIA: It's raining
Drivers: It's not raining
2 minutes later: Track is flooding
Go on Albon!
I'm liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
What’s great weekend. Canadian GP, US Open, and the Ashes. F in the chat for my wife and kids’ TV time please.
🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues
🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.
Could turn into a tough weekend for Ferrari with both cars (probably) starting outside the top 10.
🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases
Top 3
HAM 1:13.718
RUS +0.027
SAI +0.126
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
With the ongoing rain, that has to be the final classification. Great work by Hulkenberg and Alonso. Verstappen delivering as expected.
Unless the rain stops before the track is green flagged again. But it currently looks like it would take more than 7 minutes to form a dry line again, even if the rain stopped right now.
Maybe something behind the first 3 can change. But it looks to be way too wet.
Thanks to the mods for making this thread!
Hoping for a good race, though it's bit late in the evening for us Europeans

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.
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.
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.
Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?
Q2, with more rain coming

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