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.

Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts

[–] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Let's revive Bernie's sprinkler idea.

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

[–] Kidney_Thief1988@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year 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.

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.

Go on Albon!

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.

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

Williams dominance could bore fans

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MrStrawberry@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

exactly as expected

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Leclerc and pain radios, name a better duo.

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.

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

[–] Cynosure@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

::: spoiler LEC PER and STR out in Q2? This is interesting :::

[–] Tronso@feddit.de 4 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.

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

Q1 resultsTop 3: VER ALO HAM

Eiminated: TSU GAS DEV SAR ZHO

[–] lemmein@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely

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

Nice amount of impeding today.

[–] 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.

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 4 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?

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.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What an action-packed FP1!

Starting to rain, and most drivers on softs

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (5 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?

Hulk P2? Please let it happen!

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

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 kepp an overview.

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

Sainz vs Perez was fun.

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

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

What is this race direction? We're missing albon and Norris soft lap. Who is in charge this weekend? Seems worse than other weekends.

[–] 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.

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

So one-lap-shootout coming up.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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