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] 5 points 2 years 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] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

[–] Kidney_Thief1988 4 points 2 years 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Go on Albon!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'm liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.

Rawe ceek, here we come!

🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kidney_Thief1988 5 points 2 years ago

Could turn into a tough weekend for Ferrari with both cars (probably) starting outside the top 10.

Williams dominance could bore fans

Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Maybe something behind the first 3 can change. But it looks to be way too wet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?

Q2, with more rain coming

Anyone aware of any communities similar to r/motorsportsreplays or r/motorsportssteams?

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