Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we're due for a big Ferrari fuck up.
At this point, a weekend where everything goes along smoothly (him, his race engineer, pit stops and strategy) would look like a victory
Another McLaren double points finish surely isn't too much to ask for, right?
Right?
At this rate, one car in the points is still a good race
I need to see Aston Martin unveil the most illegal, protest-inducing, send-Newey-into-a-coma upgrades and for it to rain so my boy Lance can get that maiden win.
Are we guaranteed to go on this weekend with the situation in Canada right now?
The forecast is rain all week so I don't think it will be a problem.
Oh so cancelled from flooding it is
LOL... some people just want to watch the world ~~burn~~ drown
Not necessarily guaranteed, but the officials have assured us fans that the wildfires will not have impact significant enough to endanger folks nor cancel the race outright as of this time.
Wind isn't blowing south at the moment. So the skies are pretty clear in Montreal. Even when New York was super yellow, Montreal was relatively fine as most of the smoke went around Montreal. Plus the rain that we've been getting I'd helping out a lot.
Max will win unless his car breaks. Still, things behind him have been getting more interesting this year, so let’s hope for more of that.
I just hope to see a good midfield battle between AM, Ferrari and Mercedes, since I can’t really see anything except a Max win on Sunday. He is just on another level.
Is it too much to ask for a Ferrari win?
As a Ferrari fan, yes.
Depends on what you are willing to sacrifice.
I’ll put my money on another Verstappen win. I hope Perez can get his act together.
Verstappen seems damn near unstoppable at the moment. RB got a fantastic car and his raw skill is incredible. Would like to get some sort of an upset, though. Having the same guy win every time gets kind of boring. Felt the same with Hamilton a couple of years back :/
I'm looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol
I'm hoping to see clear skies 😬
This. Most I can hope for is the race doesn't get canned.
After Aston's bad weekend in Spain, I'm hoping they can bounce back with an Alonso podium. Mercedes's performance looked promising in Spain, I think it'll be a fight between Hamilton and Alonso for the final podium place behind Verstappen and Pérez.
I'm still not convinced mercedes is above Aston given how they performed well at Spain last year before dropping down again after. Did the upgrades work or does their car just suit that track still?
I'm still rooting very hard for Mercedes. If Canada works out very well again, I think it will set a very different tone for the rest of the season
Yes please. We need hard racing at the front to give the season real intensity. Since Perez cannot do that, revitalised Mercs are the best hope.
Williams 1-2, verstappen dnf, Charles leclerc now leads in points. Mercedes are running the reverse layout playing mario kart.
I hope for exciting practice sessions as they are the only ones I can afford to attend.
Anyone got a weather forecast?
Atm, rain Friday thru Sunday
Yay, fun rain or so there will be no race at all rain.
It says 1mm for now, so that sounds like fun rain to me!
Yeah, I’m going so I’ve been watching the weather closely. Looks like consistent forecasts for intermittent showers throughout the weekend. Should be fun :)
Just hoping it doesn't get smoked out. Had some shitty days recently for that.
I'm just looking for excitement. It's very telling that the "Top 5 Battles of Canada" on the F1 YT channel includes three three-way battles, whereas the "Top 5 Battles of Spain" had a "battle" from qualifying.
At this point I'm just hoping for rain so that Max can at least be challenged by someone
Forecast looks like rain. Doubt that'll stop Max though
But Max is ridiculous in the rain. I don't think that would be enough. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point.
Spikestip?
VER PER ALO is inevitable.
Charles will have a good start to the weekend, decent Q1 and Q2 and then his engine will blow up in Q3. You heard it here first :D
Maybe VER ALO PER? Would be great to see alonso score a couple of good points
I'm ready for the Fire Nation Grand Prix and hope that Alonso gets his 33rd
I'd love to see Yuki score some points this weekend. Let's go!
Max grand slam again
Yawn
As a Lewis fan, this isn't what I want to see, but it's hard to begrudge Max fans enjoying how well he's driving.
