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

At this rate, one car in the points is still a good race
Maybe if they bring back the chrome and red 👀 But I do really want to see Piastri do well! He's got the pace to challenge Norris I think, but it just seems like it's not come together for him in a race, yet.
I just want Leclerc to have a good race goddamn
At this point, a weekend where everything goes along smoothly (him, his race engineer, pit stops and strategy) would look like a victory
Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we're due for a big Ferrari fuck up.
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’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 :/
At least Hamilton Rosberg was interesting as they were at a more similar level than Bottas or Checo
Totally agree. He's a total machine! We've definitely had some good scraps in the midfield, but honestly I feel like no midfield fight can really be as exciting as a fight for the win.
Is it too much to ask for a Ferrari win?
I’m just hoping for 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.
Are we guaranteed to go on this weekend with the situation in Canada right now?
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
Start behind the safety car, then red flag, then two laps on inters, then a boring race on dry tires.
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.
Wind isn't blowing south at the moment. So the skies are pretty clear in Montreal. Even when New York was super yellow, Montreal was relatively fine as most of the smoke went around Montreal. Plus the rain that we've been getting I'd helping out a lot.
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.

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 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 🤞
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 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
I was so surprised by Merc's performance last GP! That being said, I'm not sure how much difference these new sidepods can really make given that the car as a whole isn't designed around them! Fingers crossed though - although it would be something special to see Alonso and Aston Martin beat them, honestly!
Williams 1-2, verstappen dnf, Charles leclerc now leads in points. Mercedes are running the reverse layout playing mario kart.

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.

Anyone got a weather forecast?
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!
Yeah, I’m going so I’ve been watching the weather closely. Looks like consistent forecasts for intermittent showers throughout the weekend. Should be fun :)
Just hoping it doesn't get smoked out. Had some shitty days recently for that.
I'm looking forward to seeing Merc Vs Aston, trouble is Aston only really has 1 car lol
I want to see the Yuki redemption arc continue with him outscoring Zhou this time, after another intense but fair on track battle
I can't see anything but a Verstappen win in normal circumstances, but it wouldn't be the first Candadian Grand Prix with some mixed conditions or an upset. It's one of my favourite GPs in the year, so I hope it's a good one.
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
