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

[Mesai]

This is looking interesting. Red Bull have lost their air of invincibility.

Did something happen or are you referring to the FP results?

Max's car had a small fire, but yes the FP2 and the last couple of races

 

[Mad_Jay]

Makes you wonder if it's just a blip, or if it's the other teams catching up with upgrades and the fact that RB have far less Wind Tunnel/CFD time compared to others due to winning the recent championships.

 

[chrismscotland]

Could be that they've made a mis-step with their last upgrade package; they've been slower since that came in at Imola.

weather still looks mega tasty for the race tomorrow

Christy almighty Villeneuve, how salty from him.

Cant say he's completely wrong, but whats the need to be such a *****?

 

[GravyMonster]

I'd at least rather have Button who normally does the North American rounds

Very true, but he's driving at Le Mans this week.

Totally forgot it was Le Mans week

What’s he saying?

Just seen the DR stuff which is just a bit out of line. Especially given his final years and exit from the sport.
Just seen an interview with him now digging into Strolls and saying Lance doesn't want to be a racer and has been forced by his dad.
Guess I just absolutely detest listening to his awful takes.

It's an old power unit so not really, nothing is indestructible...

It's more the pace, and the recent results, than the fire. The fire is just the cherry on top.

They did say these tracks would be a weak spot, and it's probably accentuate by the fact that McLaren and Ferrari have made a real jump in performance. Will have to see what happens after Canada.

I think it is a combination of the rest of the pack has closed up and we've had tracks where the Red Bull has traditionally been weaker.

 

[Flibster]

What's going on? Mercedes leading?

Is it April 1st again?

 

[Scam]

Quite a margin too although obviously let’s wait and see. It’s only FP after all.

Edit: Times are coming down a bit now. Stroll 0.5 off so maybe it’s not such a big deal.

 

[utajoker]

Stuck £5 on hamilton win. This is his track. Car seems to be improved. Taking a punt.

Wanted to do pole and win but can't seem to find any markets for f1 that offer much more than the actual race

 

[Mr Jack]

Stroll 0.5 off so maybe it’s not such a big deal.

To be fair to Stroll, he is actually pretty good in these kind of conditions.
