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.
Alonso has to lift and coast, and de La Rosa in the Spanish broadcast hints that he has to save fuel due to the high race pace.
Oof. I hope he makes it to the end of the race and ends up on the podium.
Russel has to retire with brake issues
Smashing into a wall must not be optimal for brakes if your car already has weak breaks.
Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts

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.

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.
Max for the first time this season had to push to not get caught. Alonso and later Hamilton with the mediums had practically the same pace as him. It was a shame that Alonso didn’t had a new set of medium tyres and the issues with the rear brakes, he was faster than Hamilton when they had the same compound. The 33 is coming. 😎 Russell made a good comeback after the crash, having to retire the car was very harsh after all he did to get into the points again.
Brundle was honest - he noted how far ahead Max would be if the race was clean without incidents. So in pure race pace that would be at least 10s faster than the next two teams.
I’m all for Alonso this season with his stupendous performance, but Max and RB’s package is still the package to beat. AM need to be smarter to beat RB and Merc later into the season. Sucks that Alo’s strongest performance yet was hindered by a rear braking issue.
If you wanna see how fast Max is, just compare him vs Checo…
switched to Albon’s onboard and it is impressive how he is able to hold up everyone behind
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.
He has one lap to save it.
He didn’t…
