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.

He has one lap to save it.

Is it 0% chance of race before and during the race or just during?

I recall the weather prediction a few days ago said rain during the race is unlikely but there could be rain a few hours beforehand.

[–] Gerryflap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bwoah what a quali session. Too bad about the penalty for Hülkenberg, but still a very good result. The Q2 Albon gamble was also amazing, as well as both McLarens being up so high in Q2.

Big names dropping out, small teams rising to the top, constantly changing conditions, this is peak entertainment imo. And somehow Max always comes through and puts the car where it should be, it's so impressive.

Ferrari need to shake things up, move some of the Le Mans team into senior positions. Winning has consequences.

Disappointed with the lack of rain.

[–] ncls_ptrk@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

What happened to TSU? He pitted after the first lap?

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lewis is keeping up with Max. Oh wait as I type this he lost a couple tenths. Still, great pace of the Merc.

predictions:

  • At least 3 yellow flags
  • Alonso gets mad at someone
  • Ferrari amaze us with a strategy we’ve never seen before
  • George gets upset with Lewis
  • Lewis gets upset with George

Alonso has to lift and coast, and de La Rosa in the Spanish broadcast hints that he has to save fuel due to the high race pace.

Mercedes said in the radio that it was because of his rear brakes. Good race for him overall anyway, the upgrades are working!

Can you sort comments by new in Jerboa? Otherwise difficult to find new comments.

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I haven't figured out how to do that reliably yet.

[–] christhebaker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you figure it out please let us know!

I know that this post is for the full weekend. Could we still have a separate race discussion? I think this would make it a bit better to keep an overview.

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

There are a couple of reason why I'm going to say no to this now.

  • I don't want to change how we're operating a race weekend during the race weekend.
  • I'd like to see the experiment of one post per race weekend through.

If we get enough feedback asking for more granular threads then when will absolutely consider how we change things for future races.

Tomorrow there will be a post-race discussion. Perhaps in there you can make this point again?

[–] Noezn@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Good call on not changing things as we're going! I personally do prefer to have separate threads, definitely easier for me to avoid spoilers that way when watching after the fact as opposed to live.

[–] hillbicks@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Not OP, but fair points.

Let's see how the discussion goes tomorrow. Enjoy the race!

[–] _ed@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Other than you know who, I have no predictions for how its going to play out!

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perez is losing on the Ferraris with softer tyres. How?

[–] lemmein@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Skill issue

I think I tuned into the wrong channel. Instead of FP1 I got 55 minutes of marmot talk.

what's going on with Ocon's rear wing?

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's waving at us!

[–] MrNorm@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao Toto reenacting Alonso's steering in the pits

[–] Donk@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Was weird, Sky did a reply that was cut to imply he was mimicking George’s crash.
