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.

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 keep an overview.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (4 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Good call on not changing things as we're going! I personally do prefer to have separate threads, definitely easier for me to avoid spoilers that way when watching after the fact as opposed to live.

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

Not OP, but fair points.

Let's see how the discussion goes tomorrow. Enjoy the race!

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.

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?

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

Jepp I sadly have the same problem.

Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts

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

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

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

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done

Probably just me but this thread wasn't easy to find on chrome android or jerboa, even though it's pinned?

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

Yeah, pinning a comment seems pretty meaningless at the moment because Lemmy doesn't seem to be respecting the pinned status.

What an action-packed FP1!

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

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

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

Which is weird considering the fact that a few years ago stroll was pretty good in wet conditions

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.

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

Disappointed with the lack of rain.

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 1 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!

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

RIP Ferrari engine :(

Nando win please!

Russel has to retire with break issues

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

Sainz vs Perez was fun.

Can you sort comments by new in Jerboa? Otherwise difficult to find new comments.

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] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

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

Rawe ceek, here we come!

Hulkenfire!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Edit: Not a great start for F1, period. Broken track cameras? Really? Sigh.

Edit2: Bottas P1! Technically...

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

🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues

Oh I almost forgot we were in RAWE CEEK! Came here to see that the sessions are already going to be very wet. Hope not another one gets put into red flag hell again...

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