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.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz
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.
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!
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?UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.
there’s nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari

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.
As a European I quite like the late races, frees up the day for other things.
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.
hey, not touching the wall was a display of ability
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.

Top 3: VER ALO HAM

Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely
Nice amount of impeding today.

Yeah, slam dunk.

The session times do not match with weekend warmup because F1TVs coverage of practice sessions now includes a 15-minute preshow. 13:30, 17:00, and 12:30 local time are the correct times.

Nice formatting, how did you get the red text!?
deleted by creator
I can’t see red text on my browser, but looking at the source it looks like they used backticks ( ` ) for code blocks.
Test
Grey code block
red code block
I didn’t realise the different code block implementations would give different colours. Very useful!
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
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?
Jepp I sadly have the same problem.
Are comments from other instances coming through alright though?
Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
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.
🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases
