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.

      The session times do not match with weekend warmup because F1TVs coverage of practice sessions now includes a 15-minute preshow. 13:30, 17:00, and 12:30 local time are the correct times.

        I can’t see red text on my browser, but looking at the source it looks like they used backticks ( ` ) for code blocks.

          Grey code block

          red code block

          I didn’t realise the different code block implementations would give different colours. Very useful!

    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?

    Anyone aware of any communities similar to r/motorsportsreplays or r/motorsportssteams?

      I’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.

        Yeah I’m aware of sportsurge, can never seem to find an F1 Live commentary stream though.

          Interesting, I’ve used it for years for full seasons and never missed a session. Just be sure to use the new V2 version. Best of luck!

    For those of us in Canada I hope one day we get coverage without Ads… That’s my favorite part of the US GP weekends. :D

    Thanks to the mods for making this thread!

    Hoping for a good race, though it’s bit late in the evening for us Europeans

    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…

    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?

      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.

      UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.

      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.

    Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.

    Edit: Not a great start for F1, period. Broken track cameras? Really? Sigh.

    Edit2: Bottas P1! Technically…
