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 we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
Let’s revive Bernie’s sprinkler idea.
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.
Vowles’ experience shows
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!
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
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.
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.
there’s nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari
What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz
Stroll just isn’t cutting it on Aston Martin anymore. Maybe his dad can give him a cushy office job so we can get a competent driver.
Send him to WEC. He’s clearly got the talent for a top drive in any series except F1.
You think at some point he’ll throw his hat out. This must be killing his professional pride, if he has any.
To be fair he never went to the softs. A question for AM themselves perhaps?
Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely
Nice amount of impeding today.
Q2 results
Fastest: ALB VER NOR
Eliminated: LEC PER STR MAG BOTexactly as expected
Leclerc and pain radios, name a better duo.
I felt his rage.
Perez has bottled it.
Wow, can’t believe just a few races ago we were talking about whether this would be Perez year. And he is not even close to Verstappen.
If we’re all being honest with ourselves, that was only ever hopeful thinking. I don’t think anyone actually believed it.
He has one lap to save it.
He didn’t…

I’m liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
Wow, Perez missings another Q3. Changing conditions give you some excuses, but overall that is not a good look against a team mate that is dominating the championship.

“Good weather for a duck”

Nice formatting, how did you get the red text!?

Looking at the source it looks like they used backticks ( ` ) for code blocks.
TestAll grey here on Jerboa as well.
Grey code blockred code blockI didn’t realise the different code block implementations would give different colours. Very useful!
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.
