Its raining so I hope we get an exciting race!
Show threadespentanJun 9, 2024
Fingers crossed… if it starts raining harder I’m sure they won’t hesitate to red flag it.
Show threadNighedJun 9, 2024
As long as it starts before the rain hopefully we will be fine. Without the cars to dry it, yeh.
Show threadmarine_mustangJun 9, 2024
Ooo, wet race.
Show threadLCPJun 9, 2024
Kick Sauber starting from the pits?
Show threadGreenEngineering3475Jun 9, 2024
They broke parc ferme, to change their setup.
Show threadslurpinderpinJun 9, 2024
I normally like most of the drivers but George bothers me
Show threadLCPJun 9, 2024
Excellent start by K Mag on that wet tire. Disastrous for Ricciardo.
Show threadHSR🏴‍☠️Jun 9, 2024
Haas breaking everyone’s ankles, holy moly.
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Any bets on whether Leclerc will be able to finish?
Show threadalphacyberrangerJun 9, 2024
This is exciting…hope the weather gives us excitement till the end.
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Agreed, but I think the tyre strategies alone will do that. I’m more worried about the safety aspect.
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Oof Sargeant.
Show threadalphacyberrangerJun 9, 2024
Poor chuck
Show threadLCPJun 9, 2024

Haas what did you do with the pitstop…

🤦‍♂️

Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
I don’t even think they know…
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Of course Checo fucking takes the piss. It’ll be fun to see who Red Bull put in that second seat in 2025. Maybe Sainz? Tsunoda?
Show thread💡dimJun 9, 2024

I mean, Checo has been renewed for 2025, and option for 2026…

but that all could change but it would cost RB a lot of $$

Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Something tells me that Red Bull’s “fuck you” money means they don’t really care all that much. Plus, Helmut in all certainty wants Checo gone, fucked up racism notwithstanding.
Show thread💡dimJun 9, 2024
he’s not doing himself any favours that he is still sitting 16th… isn’t even making up places in the backfield
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
That’s exactly my point. I’d love to see Sainz or Yuki in that spot. I genuinely believe Yuki would be a top 5 threat in a Red Bull.
Show threadMicrowJun 10, 2024
Helmut has lost his power in the team, as far as we know. And RB definitely doesnt want to put their own money into the team
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 10, 2024

Helmut has lost his power in the team

Deservedly so. Wouldn’t really shock me that much if he’s a wannabe Nazi.

RB definitely don’t want to put their own money into the team.

Ah, the age old question of money.

Show threadMicrowJun 10, 2024
Marko was born in 1943 within a country annexed by Nazi Germany. His post-war upbringing in a society that wasn’t really denazified is definitely noticeable.
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 11, 2024
Yeah, that checks out.
Show thread💡dimJun 9, 2024

Totally understand why Haas made the call on wets, surprised more lower teams didn’t try it

But equally surprised they put both drivers on wets… smart choice for lower field runners surely would be split strategy?

Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
My view is that they thought they’re so low they might as well send it. What happens if it goes wrong? They finish last in the Constructors’?
Show thread💡dimJun 9, 2024

yeh, im more surprised other teams didn’t give it a shot.

Like why did Red Bull not take a punt with Perez, faster cars, on wet tyres, he could have made up a ton of places if it worked out.

Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Wouldn’t have mattered, because Checo finds a way to bottle it.
Show threadalphacyberrangerJun 9, 2024
Haas back to default settings
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Oh wow Max with a REALLY bad entry into that turn. Uncharacteristic of him. RB should probably just box for the softs imo.
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Update: Yeah…I called it. I don’t think anyone outside McLaren stands a chance at winning barring a red flag or a crazy strat. Pit now and go to the slicks.
Show threadGreenEngineering3475Jun 9, 2024
Mclarens have seem to come alive
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
And then some. Piastri is looking spectacular, and a McLaren 1-2 would not shock me.
Show threadSentauJun 9, 2024
Norris absolutely flying
Show threadHSR🏴‍☠️Jun 9, 2024
So rain will arrive just as they’ve worn down the entire tread. Too bad we didn’t see anyone gamble for slicks, if the rain isn’t too intense maybe softs would be able to handle it.
Show thread💡dimJun 9, 2024

George doing George things, and where the hell did that extra burst of pace suddenly spring from for Norris.

Its like his tyres suddenly found 2 laps worth of total sweet spot

Show threadTheRealKuniJun 9, 2024
The Tyre Whisperer
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
I’m actually interested in seeing the tyre wear on the McLarens. Could we see Norris have to switch onto slicks just as the rain arrives?
Show threadespentanJun 9, 2024
Norris was nowhere in the wet, while George and Max were wearing out their tires battling each other Norris could save his.
Show threadNighedJun 9, 2024
So the inters turn into pseudo slicks right? So they can hold these until it rains then out on new inters?
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Kind of, but they’ll wear a lot quicker than the softs.
Show threadNighedJun 9, 2024
That’s a broken rear axle?
Show threadKadath (she/her)Jun 9, 2024
Looked like from the replay.
Show threadGreenEngineering3475Jun 9, 2024
Safety car.
Show thread💡dimJun 9, 2024
safety car just as the rain arrives, this is gonna be mega interesting
Show threadespentanJun 9, 2024
Logan doesn’t like a wet track, doesn’t like a dry track… I don’t know if we can accommodate you, Logan.
Show threadTheRealKuniJun 9, 2024
That timing just fucked Norris’s race.
Show threadHSR🏴‍☠️Jun 9, 2024
Safety car giveth, safety car taketh
Show threadTheRealKuniJun 9, 2024
Deleted my comment when I thought he was gonna make it back out, but I was wrong.
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
We’ve all been wrong before, and we’ll all be wrong again. Don’t sweat it!
Show threadLCPJun 9, 2024

So unfortunate for Norris.

Crazy drama in this race so far.

Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
He also seemed to lose grip in the pit lane.
Show threadSentauJun 9, 2024
Yeh well one say it balances his luck from Miami
Show threadSentauJun 9, 2024
Where the hell is the rain
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Right now probably over the Old Port. The circuit sits on an island in between downtown Montréal and the southern suburbs of Saint Lambert and Longueuil.
Show threadKadath (she/her)Jun 9, 2024
Did Charles factory reset his car?
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
He just did the old “delete win32.sys” trick. Also, hello. Didn’t know you liked F1, too. Mikadono sisters on the grid when?
Show threadKadath (she/her)Jun 9, 2024
Been watching F1 since the 80s. 😅 Hopefully tomorrow morning there’ll be the new chapter!
Show thread佐藤カズマJun 9, 2024
Oh wow! Yeah that’d be nice. Think Miwa could do better than Checo this race?
