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.

What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz
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.
Go on Albon!
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
I 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

“There’s a surprising number of cars out there, considering this is approaching biblical”
- Alex Jaques
“Good weather for a duck”
- Valtteri Bottas
Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely
Nice amount of impeding today.
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?there’s nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari
UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.
And me, bugger all on TV anyway so perfect Saturday/Sunday night activity

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.
As a European I quite like the late races, frees up the day for other things.
Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues
🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.
Tsunoda has been an absolute menace haha!
What an action-packed FP1!
Edge of the seat stuff!
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.
