Another McLaren double points finish surely isn't too much to ask for, right?

Are we guaranteed to go on this weekend with the situation in Canada right now?
Not 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.
The forecast is rain all week so I don't think it will be a problem.
Oh so cancelled from flooding it is
LOL... some people just want to watch the world ~~burn~~ drown
I 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.
I'm just looking for excitement. It's very telling that the "Top 5 Battles of Canada" on the F1 YT channel includes three three-way battles, whereas the "Top 5 Battles of Spain" had a "battle" from qualifying.
I'm hoping to see clear skies 😬
According to current weather forecast, I think it will rain for sure. I hope they don't red flag the race.
Failing that, maybe the underside of whoever's car has the latest upgrades.
This. Most I can hope for is the race doesn't get canned.
I’ll put my money on another Verstappen win. I hope Perez can get his act together.
Verstappen 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 :/
Max 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.
I 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.
I have to say, I've really turned around on Stroll this year. Seeing him drive with mangled hands and wrists early on was pretty heartening, and seeing him improve has been neat - fingers crossed the green bull comes through for him 🤞
After 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.
Anyone got a weather forecast?
Just hoping it doesn't get smoked out. Had some shitty days recently for that.
Atm, rain Friday thru Sunday
Yay, fun rain or so there will be no race at all rain.
It says 1mm for now, so that sounds like fun rain to me!
Is it too much to ask for a Ferrari win?
As a Ferrari fan, yes.
Depends on the Motorsport category you are watching
Depends on what you are willing to sacrifice.
At this point I'm just hoping for rain so that Max can at least be challenged by someone
But Max is ridiculous in the rain. I don't think that would be enough. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point.
Spikestip?
I'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
Yes please. We need hard racing at the front to give the season real intensity. Since Perez cannot do that, revitalised Mercs are the best hope.
I just want Leclerc to have a good race goddamn
Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we're due for a big Ferrari fuck up.
I'm looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol
I'm ready for the Fire Nation Grand Prix and hope that Alonso gets his 33rd
What's the smoke like at the circuit at the moment? On a serious note, is there any likelihood of the weather affecting the racing? Would the aero be impacted by the particles in the air, or would the fires cause unpredictable winds and we'd end up with a repeat of Catalunya last year (I think?) where multiple drivers had issues with the crosswind at one particular corner?
Also Alonso 33rd pls
Williams 1-2, verstappen dnf, Charles leclerc now leads in points. Mercedes are running the reverse layout playing mario kart.
VER 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
I hope for exciting practice sessions as they are the only ones I can afford to attend.
Maybe VER ALO PER? Would be great to see alonso score a couple of good points
Max grand slam again
Yawn
As a Lewis fan, this isn't what I want to see, but it's hard to begrudge Max fans enjoying how well he's driving.
