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
Sainz and Tsunoda have been tripping over people all weekend. It’s shockingly bad.
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.
Nothing to lose everything to gain, and they took the opportunity brilliantly.
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.

These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.
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.
Which is weird considering the fact that a few years ago stroll was pretty good in wet conditions
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
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.
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.
Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely
Nice amount of impeding today.

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

Yeah, slam dunk.
Anyone aware of any communities similar to r/motorsportsreplays or r/motorsportssteams?
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:

should get you the ideaNotice
We shall be banning discussion around F1 piracy in this community next week.
We will not take any actions until the rules are posted in their entirety in the sidebar.
I’m not aware of any communities yet, but I’d recommend taking a look at SportSurge. Easy enough to use, and should have streams for F1 sessions.
Yeah I’m aware of sportsurge, can never seem to find an F1 Live commentary stream though.
BBC 5 Live has radio commentary of F1
Interesting, I’ve used it for years for full seasons and never missed a session. Just be sure to use the new V2 version. Best of luck!
To clarify I meant F1TV’s commentary, plenty of sky streams on there though.
I’m liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
Other than you know who, I have no predictions for how its going to play out!

Woah look at mister going out on a limb here with the risky predictions. I like it, five schmeckels on my boy’s pick, Max.
What an action-packed FP1!
Edge of the seat stuff!
