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?
RamesesKnibs ( @RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world ) English8•2 years agoAnother McLaren double points finish surely isn’t too much to ask for, right?
Right?
ZappySnap ( @ZappySnap@sh.itjust.works ) English8•2 years agoMax 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.
shedinja ( @shedinja@feddit.it ) English7•2 years agoI 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.
GovernorBlaze ( @GovernorBlaze@lemmy.ml ) English6•2 years agoIs it too much to ask for a Ferrari win?
Cmmndrkn ( @Cmmndrkn@lemmy.world ) English9•2 years agoAs a Ferrari fan, yes.
Omgarm ( @Omgarm@lemmy.world ) English3•2 years agoDepends on what you are willing to sacrifice.
Naryn ( @Naryn@lemmy.world ) English6•2 years agoAre we guaranteed to go on this weekend with the situation in Canada right now?
Frank Dew ( @frankdew@sh.itjust.works ) English3•2 years agoThe forecast is rain all week so I don’t think it will be a problem.
Naryn ( @Naryn@lemmy.world ) English6•2 years agoOh so cancelled from flooding it is
Frank Dew ( @frankdew@sh.itjust.works ) English3•2 years agoLOL… some people just want to watch the world

Ecksell ( @Ecksell@lemmy.one ) English2•2 years agoNot 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.
Rob ( @Rob@lemmy.world ) English6•2 years agoI’ll put my money on another Verstappen win. I hope Perez can get his act together.
avapa ( @avapa@lemmy.ml ) English1•2 years agoVerstappen 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 :/
sorrowstouch ( @sorrowstouch@lemmy.ml ) English4•2 years agoI’m looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol
gangstamouse ( @gangstamouse@beehaw.org ) English3•2 years agoI just want Leclerc to have a good race goddamn
Einderjam ( @einderjam@iusearchlinux.fyi ) English2•2 years agoAt this point, a weekend where everything goes along smoothly (him, his race engineer, pit stops and strategy) would look like a victory
gangstamouse ( @gangstamouse@beehaw.org ) English1•2 years agoDude, I would cry tears of joy if that were to happen
MoreIronOre ( @MoreIronOre@lemmy.ml ) English2•2 years agoFerrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we’re due for a big Ferrari fuck up.
Fluffysquash ( @Fluffysquash@lemmy.ml ) English1•2 years agoUsed up all their strategy last weekend. They really should learn how to budget
tauonite ( @tauonite@lemmy.world ) English3•2 years agoAfter 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.
lordromanov ( @lordromanov@beehaw.org ) English2•2 years agoI’m still not convinced mercedes is above Aston given how they performed well at Spain last year before dropping down again after. Did the upgrades work or does their car just suit that track still?
c0mpufreak ( @c0mpufreak@feddit.de ) English3•2 years agoVER 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
Thrashy ( @Thrashy@beehaw.org ) English1•2 years agoIs it, though? Aston Martin took a real step back relative the field in Spain, and Mercedes seems to be getting their car to work better as well.
Now we just need Mercedes to find a few more tenths, and for Alfa Romeo to have a miracle, and we can go back to the good old days of HAM VER BOT!
c0mpufreak ( @c0mpufreak@feddit.de ) English1•2 years agowe don’t really know. Alonso had a destroyed floor in Qualy and also had some contact at the beginning of the race. You’re right tho. Never discount Hamilton. Bottas would be a miracle indeed.
randromeda ( @randromeda@lemmy.ml ) English2•2 years agoI 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.
Freyr ( @Freyr@sh.itjust.works ) English2•2 years agoMaybe VER ALO PER? Would be great to see alonso score a couple of good points
SouthernCross ( @SouthernCross@lemmy.world ) English2•2 years agoI’d love to see Yuki score some points this weekend. Let’s go!
Cool Beance ( @CoolBeance@lemmy.world ) English2•2 years agoI’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
jermy12321 ( @jermy12321@lemmy.ca ) English1•2 years agoI hope for exciting practice sessions as they are the only ones I can afford to attend.
