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?

Another McLaren double points finish surely isn't too much to ask for, right?

Right?

I just hope to see 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.

Are we guaranteed to go on this weekend with the situation in Canada right now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The forecast is rain all week so I don't think it will be a problem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh so cancelled from flooding it is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

LOL... some people just want to watch the world ~~burn~~ drown

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm hoping to see clear skies 😬

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This. Most I can hope for is the race doesn't get canned.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Is it too much to ask for a Ferrari win?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

As a Ferrari fan, yes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on what you are willing to sacrifice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ll put my money on another Verstappen win. I hope Perez can get his act together.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 :/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We expect more surprises on Sunday geometry dash bloodbath

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe VER ALO PER? Would be great to see alonso score a couple of good points

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm still rooting very hard for Mercedes. If Canada works out very well again, I think it will set a very different tone for the rest of the season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes please. We need hard racing at the front to give the season real intensity. Since Perez cannot do that, revitalised Mercs are the best hope.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

At this point I'm just hoping for rain so that Max can at least be challenged by someone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Williams 1-2, verstappen dnf, Charles leclerc now leads in points. Mercedes are running the reverse layout playing mario kart.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd love to see Yuki score some points this weekend. Let's go!

Anyone got a weather forecast?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Atm, rain Friday thru Sunday

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay, fun rain or so there will be no race at all rain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It says 1mm for now, so that sounds like fun rain to me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just hoping it doesn't get smoked out. Had some shitty days recently for that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just want Leclerc to have a good race goddamn

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we're due for a big Ferrari fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Used up all their strategy last weekend. They really should learn how to budget
