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

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.
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.
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 hoping to see clear skies 😬
Failing that, maybe the underside of whoever’s car has the latest upgrades.
According to current weather forecast, I think it will rain for sure. I hope they don’t red flag the race.
This. Most I can hope for is the race doesn’t get canned.
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 :/
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.
Anyone got a weather forecast?
Just hoping it doesn’t get smoked out. Had some shitty days recently for that.
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!
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 🤞
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 looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol
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?
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.
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
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.
