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.

What a clusterfuck that was at the end.

Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

Go on Albon!

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago (6 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?

[–] pol5xc@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago

there's nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari

[–] JCPhoenix@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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

European here, if I don't have anything planned for the weekend, I love them. If I plan a night out on Saturday, I hate them. Right now, I love it.

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

Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts

[–] PriorProject@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

Rawe ceek, here we come!

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

Q2, with more rain coming

[–] MrStrawberry@feddit.de 3 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 4 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.

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

Yeah sure. I honestly don't expect anything else. But they should really add some additional penalties for this very dangerous maneuvers.

[–] jmsw22@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] unomar@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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?

What an action-packed FP1!

[–] 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.

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

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.

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

Tsunoda has been an absolute menace haha!

[–] Morningcoffee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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

[–] SyJ@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Hulkenfire!

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

🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues

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

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

[–] abclop99@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That rejoin from De Vries is kinda spicy. Hope nothing bad happens during the race.
