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.

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

[–] quintinza@lemmy.world 3 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.

What a clusterfuck that was at the end.

Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 6 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?

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] pol5xc@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

there's nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari

[–] JCPhoenix@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

[–] MrStrawberry@feddit.de 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.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 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.

[–] MrStrawberry@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah sure. I honestly don't expect anything else. But they should really add some additional penalties for this very dangerous maneuvers.

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Q2, with more rain coming

[–] Rumblestiltskin@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?

[–] condodog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts

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 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What an action-packed FP1!

Starting to rain, and most drivers on softs

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For those of us in Canada I hope one day we get coverage without Ads... That's my favorite part of the US GP weekends. :D

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

We had ads in the UK for a few years. I hated coming back to the race to Murry Walker announcing "drama in the German grand prix..." only to get a replay of a major incident. I feel for you buddy!

How do the marshal's know when to show their flags. Are they connected to audio to F1 central?

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I noticed that two teams had different orange lights outside their box. I've never really noticed it, but I wonder if all teams have their own unique light (shape, flashing, animation).

I'd they do, this should so be a feature in the game as a customisation.

[–] JCPhoenix@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.

[–] SyJ@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sky spending a lot of time showing us this corner...
