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.
Go on Albon!
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?
UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.
there's nothing better than going to bed after being let down by ferrari
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.
These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.

What an action-packed FP1!
Edge of the seat stuff!
If 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.
Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
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.
Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?
I'm liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues
🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.
🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases
Top 3
HAM 1:13.718

Sainz should get even more then a 3 grid penalty. This was not only impeading, but crazy dangerous.
The penalty is given for the infringement, not the outcome. Not that I disagree with you, but that is how the rules are applied.
Yeah sure. I honestly don't expect anything else. But they should really add some additional penalties for this very dangerous maneuvers.
Q2, with more rain coming
Seems like lemmy.ml is having some trouble pushing out comments to other instances from this post 😬 Many comments here are missing on other instances
Might make sense to host these threads on a less overloaded instance?
Oh I almost forgot we were in RAWE CEEK! Came here to see that the sessions are already going to be very wet. Hope not another one gets put into red flag hell again...
What’s great weekend. Canadian GP, US Open, and the Ashes. F in the chat for my wife and kids’ TV time please.
Oh boy, really hoping Alpine are just getting their mechanical issues out of the way before the race. Not a good sign with both cars bringing out the red flags...
Anyone aware of any communities similar to r/motorsportsreplays or r/motorsportssteams?
RIP Ferrari engine :(
