Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2017Formula 1

[JayOTT]

So help me, I'm completely lost on strategies at this point...

All you need to know about strategies is that Mercedes wins LOL.

 

[Dhalism]

I hope Stroll manages to stay in points. It'd be nice to have a North North American hope in F1.

 

[IforceV8]

So help me, I'm completely lost on strategies at this point... what a muddle.

Then again, it's nearly 3am here, so my brains aren't in the best of shape...

Likely a 1 stop race, and if you wait to stop it is possible to get caught by a safety car and get buried.

 

[Dennisch]

Alonso not happy with the information shared on the radio.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Ocon in 2nd. Screenshot that moment.

I know a few stopped early but intended to stay on a one stop strategy. Not sure if Vettel could make his tires last 60+ laps, though.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Alonso not happy with the information shared on the radio.

I'm impressed he had the forward thought, that he is in a battle with Magnussen...

 

[Furinkazen]

So, Canada re-affirms my theory from before Austrailia:

>Cars look great
>Cars are super fast.
>Racing is rubbish for a number of events, and then some events like this, it's brilliant.

Great to know Canada will be staying on the schedule as well.

Also Alonso sounds like he wants to punch his engineer.

I feel that, or that he won't have the speed in the end to pass the stronger cars because his tire is so worn by the end.

 

[Dennisch]

Quite a lot of action today! So far so good. Apart from that dead battery of course.

 

[sems4arsenal]

God bless this magnificent track

 

[Furinkazen]

That Mercedes-powered piece of bubblegum from Paki---- sorry India, sorry England, is doing quite well. Props to Ocon, always getting the job done without fuss 👍

 

[niky]

Ocon holding off Bottas for that long is going to help Mercedes sell a lot of customer engines next season.

Talk about power parity.

Mr Boullier is going to be first in the queue...

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Now let's see if Ocon can fight back to podium

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

Bottas showing his real speed here?

It's a bit embarrassing, not sure why he's driving a Mercedes, wasn't Ocon also one of the candidates for a Mercedes seat?

Also once again, these cars are just badly designed, race cars should produce enough draft to make overtaking possible, seems current F1 does the opposite.

Yes him and Pascal, both were loaned out to other teams needing more experience before given the shot, hence the year contract with Bottas. F1 has always made it tough to pass, they're not badly designed there is a reason that the design doesn't allow slip stream as mainstream has made it seem all to easy to do.

So they give Kvyat an additional penalty after he's served the original punishment for the same penalty. Some one tell the FIA they can't double dip...

 

[Ryk]

Did Kvyat drop a bag of mirrors onto a black cat this morning?

 

[JayOTT]

**** SAKE BLANCPAIN STEWARDS HAVE HIJACKED MY F1 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Did Kvyat drop a bag of mirrors onto a black cat this morning?

Or the weekend, let's not forget he was attacked by a wall in Quali

 

[Dennisch]

Kimi 28 laps on the ultra softs? Brave choice.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Another set of Ultra soft for Kimi...what are you doing Ferrari?

 

[niky]

Stroll versus Alonso, after taking forever to overtake Vandorne.

This is going to be painful.

Nope, it's as if Alonso pulled over.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Refreshing to see Stroll actually racing.

Not much between 3rd 4th 5th and 6th!

 

[Dennisch]

This race is going way too fast. It should be 80 laps.

 

[niky]

Ferrari believe Vettel can catch the Ricciardo train eight laps before the end.

With fresher tires.

-

Podium possible?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well the Bad luck cashed in on Kvyat's day, it's done...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Shambles at Toro Rosso!!!

 

[niky]

Well the Bad luck cashed in on Kvyat's day, it's done...

THey should be playing some Charlie Chaplin music on that pit stop.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

THey should be playing some Charlie Chaplin music on that pit stop.

There's a couple times this gp should have had that music. This is the song they should be playing for Kvyat
