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.

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

[–] [email protected] 3 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

Go on Albon!

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

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

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

What's French for "clutch"? I don't know, and it appears Alpine don't either.

[–] [email protected] 3 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Williams dominance could bore fans

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

well, we have [email protected] and the other communities on that page.
should be quite receptive for linking streams.

just make one, if we don't find an existing one!

/e: either I am, or kbin is currently being stupid with the link above, but this:
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
should get you the idea

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

Rawe ceek, here we come!

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 (1 children)

Sainz should get even more then a 3 grid penalty. This was not only impeading, but crazy dangerous.

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

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.

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

Max only feels something when he almost bins it. He must be so bored up there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?

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?
