These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.

Between Alonso and almost everybody else. Stroll was nowhere, but Alonso in his 40's is sharper than 75% of the current grid. His reactions when the car snaps on him is unbelievable.
Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done
I respect it. They saw a small window to put in some fast laps on softs and they capitalized on it in a big way.

Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
Let's revive Bernie's sprinkler idea.
Go on Albon!
Williams with 2 fastest sectors, just like we ll predicted.
Williams dominance could bore fans
how do y'all feel about race weekends with these later than usual session start times?
I hate them, give me my 8-9am sessions!
How about you Euros/Asians? Are these times better or worse?
UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.
As an American, I greatly dislike the later times when races are on this side of the world. I don't mind waking up like 6,7,8am or whatever to watch a session. Or even staying up very late til like 4am. Even on Fridays for FP1 and FP2.
Idk, I like getting F1 "out of the way" so to speak, then I can do whatever else I need to do for rest of the day.
Like right now, it's 12:30p for me. That's not terrible since it's lunch time. But FP2 is at like 4pm; I tend to take a nap around then. If I was still working from the office, I'd be leaving the office around then.
FIA: It's raining
Drivers: It's not raining
2 minutes later: Track is flooding
This new wall in the wet is pushing drivers out on to the racing line when they rejoin.
If its wet during the race, this has some dreadful implications.
I'm liking these liquipedia pages, so much context. Plus the session times posted there.
Rawe ceek, here we come!
Perez has bottled it.
Wow, can't believe just a few races ago we were talking about whether this would be Perez year. And he is not even close to Verstappen.
Q2 results
Fastest: ALB VER NOR
Eliminated: LEC PER STR MAG BOT
exactly as expected
What a race by Alex Albon in that tractor, surely noone else is DotD?
Wow, Perez missings another Q3. Changing conditions give you some excuses, but overall that is not a good look against a team mate that is dominating the championship.
I know that this post is for the full weekend. Could we still have a separate race discussion? I think this would make it a bit better to keep an overview.
There are a couple of reason why I'm going to say no to this now.
- I don't want to change how we're operating a race weekend during the race weekend.
- I'd like to see the experiment of one post per race weekend through.
If we get enough feedback asking for more granular threads then when will absolutely consider how we change things for future races.
Tomorrow there will be a post-race discussion. Perhaps in there you can make this point again?
Max only feels something when he almost bins it. He must be so bored up there.
Q1 results
Top 3: VER ALO HAM
Eiminated: TSU GAS DEV SAR ZHO
Stroll just isn't cutting it on Aston Martin anymore. Maybe his dad can give him a cushy office job so we can get a competent driver.

Decent race if you ignore P1. Good overtakes and battles all over the grid.
My first race weekend in the fediverse was pretty nice. Still lots to improve like the experience of refreshing the page and getting comments from other instances in a timely manner but it was fun.
See you next time 😊.
Who had Hulk starting P2 then?
wooow HULK!
So it's effectively over now with Hulk on the front row?
Session probably restarts, but if rain continues track will be slower.
Red flag, Piastri on the wall as Hülkenberg gets P2
What’s great weekend. Canadian GP, US Open, and the Ashes. F in the chat for my wife and kids’ TV time please.
