Welcome
Hello everyone and welcome to the Canadian Grand Prix Weekend thread.

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.

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
What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz
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
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
Decent race if you ignore P1. Good overtakes and battles all over the grid.
My first race weekend in the fediverse was pretty nice. Still lots to improve like the experience of refreshing the page and getting comments from other instances in a timely manner but it was fun.
See you next time 😊.

With the ongoing rain, that has to be the final classification. Great work by Hulkenberg and Alonso. Verstappen delivering as expected.
Unless the rain stops before the track is green flagged again. But it currently looks like it would take more than 7 minutes to form a dry line again, even if the rain stopped right now.
Maybe something behind the first 3 can change. But it looks to be way too wet.
Red flag, Piastri on the wall as Hülkenberg gets P2
This new wall in the wet is pushing drivers out on to the racing line when they rejoin.
If its wet during the race, this has some dreadful implications.
Yeah, those rejoins look really unsafe. This might cause a massive lap 1 incident even in the dry. Or when dive-bombing into turn 1 (which I don’t like, but it happens quite regularly here) goes worng, this might force contact instead of a bail-out.
Yeah, I’m almost afraid of watching lap 1 tomorrow
They should have stuck the wall on the inside to make sure drivers are duly cautious having crossed the finish line.
Right now, its insane.
Who had Hulk starting P2 then?
Q1 results
Top 3: VER ALO HAM
Eiminated: TSU GAS DEV SAR ZHO
Hulk P2? Please let it happen!
What was Norris’ unsporting conduct?
Q3 with lots of rain and getting worse
