Will we see another ultra-consistent performance from Verstappen? Will Alonso finally get his 33rd? Will Lewis in the new Mercedes claim a victory, 16 years after his maiden win?
How will Ferrari bungle the strategy this weekend?
I just want Leclerc to have a good race goddamn
Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we’re due for a big Ferrari fuck up.
Used up all their strategy last weekend. They really should learn how to budget
At this point, a weekend where everything goes along smoothly (him, his race engineer, pit stops and strategy) would look like a victory
Max will win unless his car breaks. Still, things behind him have been getting more interesting this year, so let’s hope for more of that.
Verstappen sounds so relaxed nowadays. Deservedly confident with a reliable car.
Another McLaren double points finish surely isn’t too much to ask for, right?
Right?
At this rate, one car in the points is still a good race
VER PER ALO is inevitable.
Charles will have a good start to the weekend, decent Q1 and Q2 and then his engine will blow up in Q3. You heard it here first :D
Here is my take: good quali overall with a promising result, but the engine blowup will occur during the race for extra desperation
Wouldn’t surprise me if the Ferrari can’t even make it to Q3
Is it, though? Aston Martin took a real step back relative the field in Spain, and Mercedes seems to be getting their car to work better as well.
Now we just need Mercedes to find a few more tenths, and for Alfa Romeo to have a miracle, and we can go back to the good old days of HAM VER BOT!
we don’t really know. Alonso had a destroyed floor in Qualy and also had some contact at the beginning of the race. You’re right tho. Never discount Hamilton. Bottas would be a miracle indeed.
Are we guaranteed to go on this weekend with the situation in Canada right now?
The forecast is rain all week so I don’t think it will be a problem.
Oh so cancelled from flooding it is
LOL… some people just want to watch the world
burndrownStart behind the safety car, then red flag, then two laps on inters, then a boring race on dry tires.
Not necessarily guaranteed, but the officials have assured us fans that the wildfires will not have impact significant enough to endanger folks nor cancel the race outright as of this time.
Wind isn’t blowing south at the moment. So the skies are pretty clear in Montreal. Even when New York was super yellow, Montreal was relatively fine as most of the smoke went around Montreal. Plus the rain that we’ve been getting I’d helping out a lot.
Is it too much to ask for a Ferrari win?
As a Ferrari fan, yes.
Depends on the Motorsport category you are watching
Depends on what you are willing to sacrifice.
I’d love to see Yuki score some points this weekend. Let’s go!
Poor Yuki, he really does deserve it.
I’ll put my money on another Verstappen win. I hope Perez can get his act together.
Verstappen seems damn near unstoppable at the moment. RB got a fantastic car and his raw skill is incredible. Would like to get some sort of an upset, though. Having the same guy win every time gets kind of boring. Felt the same with Hamilton a couple of years back :/
At least Hamilton Rosberg was interesting as they were at a more similar level than Bottas or Checo
Anyone got a weather forecast?
Atm, rain Friday thru Sunday
Yay, fun rain or so there will be no race at all rain.
It says 1mm for now, so that sounds like fun rain to me!
Yeah, I’m going so I’ve been watching the weather closely. Looks like consistent forecasts for intermittent showers throughout the weekend. Should be fun :)
Thanks
Just hoping it doesn’t get smoked out. Had some shitty days recently for that.
At this point I’m just hoping for rain so that Max can at least be challenged by someone
But Max is ridiculous in the rain. I don’t think that would be enough. I’m not sure anything can stop him at this point.
Spikestip?
On top of rain on race day, let’s add a small crash avoiding him to make it in q1, end up at p20.
That’s something I’d love to see.
Apart from that really hoping Alonso has the pace again and see McLaren do better again.
Forecast looks like rain. Doubt that’ll stop Max though
I need to see Aston Martin unveil the most illegal, protest-inducing, send-Newey-into-a-coma upgrades and for it to rain so my boy Lance can get that maiden win.
I have to say, I’ve really turned around on Stroll this year. Seeing him drive with mangled hands and wrists early on was pretty heartening, and seeing him improve has been neat - fingers crossed the green bull comes through for him 🤞
I’m looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol
I’m just looking for excitement. It’s very telling that the “Top 5 Battles of Canada” on the F1 YT channel includes three three-way battles, whereas the “Top 5 Battles of Spain” had a “battle” from qualifying.
I’m just hoping for a good midfield battle between AM, Ferrari and Mercedes, since I can’t really see anything except a Max win on Sunday. He is just on another level.
After Aston’s bad weekend in Spain, I’m hoping they can bounce back with an Alonso podium. Mercedes’s performance looked promising in Spain, I think it’ll be a fight between Hamilton and Alonso for the final podium place behind Verstappen and Pérez.
I’m still not convinced mercedes is above Aston given how they performed well at Spain last year before dropping down again after. Did the upgrades work or does their car just suit that track still?
