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.

Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done
5 0 ReplyI respect it. They saw a small window to put in some fast laps on softs and they capitalized on it in a big way.
3 0 ReplyJust 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.

Go on Albon!
5 0 ReplyThese conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.
5 0 ReplyBetween 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.
1 0 ReplyWhich is weird considering the fact that a few years ago stroll was pretty good in wet conditions
0 0 ReplyI always felt Stroll isn't good in the rain per se.. but he was very quick to change from wet/inters to slicks
He gambles and it paid off a few times

Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely
4 0 ReplyNice amount of impeding today.
1 0 Reply
Sainz should get even more then a 3 grid penalty. This was not only impeading, but crazy dangerous.
3 0 ReplyThe penalty is given for the infringement, not the outcome. Not that I disagree with you, but that is how the rules are applied.
4 0 ReplyYeah sure. I honestly don't expect anything else. But they should really add some additional penalties for this very dangerous maneuvers.

Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?
3 0 ReplyQ2, with more rain coming
3 0 ReplyWilliams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
3 0 ReplyWilliams dominance could bore fans
1 0 Reply
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.
3 0 ReplyIf 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.
3 0 ReplyStarting to rain, and most drivers on softs
2 0 ReplyOooh I do love a wet qualifying!
2 0 ReplyIt is so great to see lap times improve every lap.
1 0 Reply
That rejoin from De Vries is kinda spicy. Hope nothing bad happens during the race.
2 0 ReplyThat wall is going to create chaos if somebody doesn't make the corner.
1 0 Reply
Tsunoda has been an absolute menace haha!
2 0 ReplyWow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
2 0 ReplyWhere is Hamilton!?
2 0 ReplyMercedes have no idea what to do with tyres.
1 0 Reply
What is this race direction? We're missing albon and Norris soft lap. Who is in charge this weekend? Seems worse than other weekends.
1 0 ReplyAlbon with softs
1 0 ReplyStroll with a crazy 360.
3 0 Reply
I look forward to McLaren raising my hopes, and then dashing them quite expertly.
1 0 ReplyNando win please!
1 0 ReplyHe got so unlucky last time. Let's hope the team got some good data from their upgrades kicking in!

I'm liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
1 0 ReplyI 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.

Technical issues for Zhou, that was quick
1 0 ReplyWonder what the issue is. Hopefully he can recover tomorrow...
2 0 ReplyAlready solved

Good race. Sucks for Russell to have to retire after that comeback. Albon did excellent.
1 0 ReplyLmao Toto reenacting Alonso's steering in the pits
1 0 ReplyPerez has bottled it.
1 0 Reply🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues

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?0 0 ReplyLeclerc eliminated because Ferrari decided not to switch to softs when he wanted to. Stop inventing!

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.
1 0 ReplyI’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.
0 0 ReplyYeah I'm aware of sportsurge, can never seem to find an F1 Live commentary stream though.
