Poll: Official 2024 Canadian Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve - Race 9/24

[Mr Jack]

Unlucky for Albon there. I guess those are the only new sets Merc have?

 

[iamtheoneneo]

This bad luck is going to be a disaster for Williams. Maybe there will be a team available for sale soon?

Nah the cost cap helps teams a lot with cash flow. Claire Williams was talking about it the other day saying she would have never have sold if the cost cap existed.

Hamilton pit radio - Safety car. Safety car. Car off at turn 7. Lewis, we have a free stop we can make it to hard. Let us know if you're happy with that.

Hamilton - How long is there to go and why would you put a hard on?

Pit - That's all we have left and there is 16 laps remaining

Hamilton - There's no soft?

Pit - We think that'll be too risky. Bit too far too go.

Hamilton - Don't have another medium?

Pit - Negative. The hard doesn't look bad at all.

Bit weird Russell pitting? Cars are light and not even on limit, current tyres should be fine till the end with what's going on.

He's got nothing to lose, he had a free pit stop with the gap to Alonso behind

I thought he was in front of Piastri though? Or did I miss Oscar overtake him?

Losing loads of racing laps here. :/

Perez a solid investment for ensuring only ever one car finishing in the points, perhaps this is deliberate for making him second in several races that he could have won but had to let Max past or support him as a rear gunner. Get paid while ensuring that your team earns as little as possible.

100% he's bring a lot of money in sponsorship to RB as I just don't see how they've signed him for another 2 years without something like lots of sponsors...

 

[Flibster]

Ummmm... but late.

Race control - Perez lap deleted - track limits turn 6 lap 52

 

[SpartaP]

I hope Lewis beats Russell

 

[Terminal_Boy]

So, does Saint get a “Causing a collision” penalty for taking out Albon?

If they lose the constructors they might need it..

 

[GravyMonster]

I was hoping it'd stay wet. Max is going to bugger off down the road in the dry.

What guff is Crofty talking? The track was wet and has now dried. If Hamilton had another set of mediums he could have used it. No requirements to use 2 different slick sets.

Hmm, I think this is the end result now barring any further rain.
