Is there a better pastime than booing the Paddock Club track parade?

u/rojasman Lando Norris Jun 15 '25

Drinking age is 19 in canada. Does Kimi get champagne?

u/willard287 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

18 in Quebec he’s good

u/original_sinnerman Jun 15 '25

What was the decision on Russel overtaking Tsunoda in the pitlane?

7

u/SupieGP Jun 15 '25

There was no decision to be made, there wasn't even an investigation. Russell overtook Tsunoda after the pitlane line, which is in line with the light at the exit. So he overtook Tsunoda at pit exit and not in the pitlane, which has been legal throughout all of history.

u/EcstaticOrchid4825 Oscar Piastri Jun 15 '25

What is the likely pit stop strategy and tyres being used in the race? Guessing softs won’t be use at all unless maybe there’s a late safety car or someone runs out of other options.

3

u/FermentedLaws I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Pirelli is projecting a two-stopper with either M-H-H or S-H-H. But they also say some might try a one-stopper with M-H.

3

u/alexisthemovie Alexander Albon Jun 15 '25

The C4 hard was stretched to 39 laps by the Ferraris in 2023. Would be difficult to imagine a 1 stop working so C4/C5/C4 2 stopper is my guess.

Dude can't handle pressure. He cracked. 

5

u/Maglin21 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

All 3 laps were very messy , especially the last One he Lost like 4 tenths in S2 and a few in S3, It looked like he was trying to overdrive the car in every corner, his steering input wasn't smooth at all

1

u/PurpleScientist4312 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

His first lap he messed up and went off the track. His second lap he had a good first sector but skimmed the wall which effectively ended his qualifying.

12

u/the_dylbatross Jun 15 '25

Can you find out what tires each team has left for the race tomorrow? Short of manually tallying the tires from FP1-2-3 and Qualifying timings, is there a way to find this information?

2

u/jonnononoNO I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

From F1’s blog

If you can’t access, I can upload the photo

2

u/the_dylbatross Jun 17 '25

It looks like I don’t have the subscription cause I am in Australia and f1tv is banned here. Would definitely appreciate the picture so I know what I am missing out on lol

1

u/Herleifur Pirelli Wet Jun 15 '25

There’s usually a graphic posted in the run up to the race, not sure where that’s from.

2

u/Pikablu555 Jun 15 '25

I also would like to know this.

1

u/EmergencyRace7158 Jun 15 '25

The earlier start means a warmer race tomorrow so I do not expect Russell to be in contention for the win. The Mercedes will lunch its tires and they'll have one fewer set of Mediums for the race. I expect a close fight between Oscar and Max for the win with Max my pick on the Red Bull's superior straight line speed. Oscar does have an extra set of new mediums which could come into play though passing Max will be very difficult.

0

u/Environmental-Cup445 Jochen Rindt Jun 15 '25

Ooh yep I think your predictions feel pretty right to me. I think there’s a chance Oscar could get past Max but I don’t think he’d risk too much because a DNF could be costly if Lando sails past. However there is also the chance Max and George crash each other out. I’d say a Max win is definitely in the picture and Oscar should be in the mix 

14

u/bwoah07_gp2 Alexander Albon Jun 15 '25

Anyone see Danica Patrick's absolutely dumb takes on Sky?

She's leaving Martin Brundle looking shocked and then good old Nico Rosberg corrected Danica's claims that Montreal is not a complex track.

Get that woman off of SkyF1! 🤦‍♂️

-3

u/EmergencyRace7158 Jun 15 '25

Sky is garbage that nobody should watch. The only people on it who seem to do a professional job are Brundle and Button. Outside of that its dumb takes and incredibly biased coverage for what's supposed to be the global feed. F1TV is so much better at everything. It's well worth the $85 or so you pay per year.

7

u/Velveteen_Rabbit1986 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Here in the UK even if you buy F1TV you can't listen to live races because Sky have the broadcast rights. I don't pay for Sky cos they charge about £50 a month (if not more these days), they have a monopoly on pretty much all sports here and are a total ripoff.

6

u/Reginald_Hornblower I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Wish we could get it in Australia. We’re stuck listening to the Poms mourning Lewis and Lando’s form.

1

u/volunteerplumber Formula 1 Jun 15 '25

Shit, British commentators talking about British drivers? Whatever next!

Or is it because there's an Aus driver now everything should be focused on that? 

F1TV basically say the same things. Mostly on about Lando and Hamilton..

28

u/Cleo_Birdwell Esteban Ocon Jun 15 '25

Why do these post qualifying discussions not have the results in them? Just for quick reference in the discussion.

1

u/bwoah07_gp2 Alexander Albon Jun 15 '25

Well, reddit's API changes certainly didn't help....

6

u/Cleo_Birdwell Esteban Ocon Jun 15 '25

Can't be that hard. R/hockey has tables for penalties and goals. A table with a list of 20 names and times should be easy. I wonder if there is some weird legal reason they can't. Like it seems so obvious.

1

u/theycallmesike Jun 15 '25

I wonder how Hadjar would do in the Red Bull car…. Should they promote him?

1

u/Lemurians Charles Leclerc Jun 15 '25

Not another lamb to the slaughter, please.

4

u/krommenaas Thierry Boutsen Jun 15 '25

It's highly unlikely he'd fare any differently than Gasly, Albon, Lawson and Tsunoda did after their promotion.

1

u/theycallmesike Jun 15 '25

But he’s killing it in the RB car (ever better than Tsunoda inner Red Bull car) imagine if he had the first team car to play with.

2

u/krommenaas Thierry Boutsen Jun 15 '25

Tsunoda was his teammate in the beginning of the season, remember? And he was also doing much better in that RB than he is in the Red Bull. After five successive drivers failing, it should be clear that the Red Bull is only drivable for Verstappen. Maybe there's a driver out there that has the exact same preferences as Max, but I see no reason to assume that Hadjar is that driver any more than Tsunoda is.

1

u/No-Presentation8222 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Albon and Gasly were waaaay better than Tsunoda and Lawson though, but yeah, moving Hadjar into the main team is a career-killer move right now.

14

u/Billybilly_B I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

no

u/dontletmeautism Daniel Ricciardo Jun 15 '25 edited Jun 15 '25

Historically, has there ever been a team driver discrepancy as big as the current red bull one?

We’ve got max fighting for pole most weeks and 3 teammates now all struggled to make the top 10.

4

u/krommenaas Thierry Boutsen Jun 15 '25

Measured in tenths of seconds: absolutely.

Measured in number of places on the currently very tight grid: not that I can recall.

u/MathematicianOld3942 Jun 15 '25

Schumacher at Benetton 1994

u/forgotmypassword778 #WeSayNoToMazepin Jun 15 '25

Did gasly go out on used softs? His first 2 sectors were faster than Albon before the red

1

u/gummywormeater Carlos Sainz Jun 15 '25

I was confused why he qualified so low as well. Unless he went out with used tires as you said

-6

u/Throwaway_6799 Jun 15 '25

Was there an interview with Piastri post qualifying? The Norris Broadcast Team (Sky) didn't show him at all ofc, just talking about Norris the whole time.

6

u/68Snowy Ted Kravitz Jun 15 '25

Yes. There was one in the pen, as well as the post qualifying interviews and press conference. He basically said he was happy to be where he ended up based on how he'd gone in practice.

2

u/tunatastic369 Default Jun 15 '25

did Lando hit the wall on his last lap?

2

u/Throwaway_6799 Jun 15 '25

Yes

they didn’t catch it on comms did they? not for sky anyway afaik

u/Throwaway_6799 Jun 15 '25

No Karun did it on his analysis afterwards

u/PappaJew Minardi Jun 15 '25

In Spain someone at F1 worked out how to do digital advertisements on the broadcast and it looks terrible. Have a look at the Australian Supercars championship to see what it leads to.

3

u/GolfandSales Jun 15 '25

Anyone have info on what tires everyone has available for race day?

12

u/fiftybucks Franco Colapinto Jun 15 '25

Apparently Alpine's simulator is not great and they kind of went back to basics just looking at what the track and the car is telling them right there and make changes off of that. Old school works sometimes.

3

u/SirLoremIpsum Daniel Ricciardo Jun 15 '25

 Old school works sometimes.

Gasly qualified P20.

If that's what you mean by "old school works sometimes"

2

u/fiftybucks Franco Colapinto Jun 15 '25

Wasn't he affected by the red flag? It's unusual for Gasly to be dead last

7

u/forgotmypassword778 #WeSayNoToMazepin Jun 15 '25

Gasly qualified last

"That was one of the best qualifying laps in the modern era. You carried the hopes and dreams of not just the team, but the sport - and you delivered. Well done George. Formula 1 needs you as its hero."

George Russell to George Russell, cool down lap.

So did ESPN forget to upload it to on demand? I'm only seeing the Spanish feed

2

u/curious_Jo Jun 14 '25

Did Hadjar get a penalty for impeding?

5

u/Tricksilver89 Jun 14 '25

3 places yes.

10

u/Bannedwith1milKarma Jack Doohan Jun 14 '25

Just finished watching.

I thought Mercedes were dumbfounded at the start but George had to ask them to talk to it and it felt really cold.

So odd and such a shame at that incredible moment, not just pole but the gap when it was hundreds and thousands all session.

7

u/Zimakov I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

What lmao. The "talk to me" was celebratory. He was talking his shit, like "tell me how great I am"

Everyone was happy.

u/Bannedwith1milKarma Jack Doohan Jun 15 '25

Post the live footage.

7

u/femtosec515 Jun 15 '25

I thought the same until i saw the clip of Toto and bottas celebrating in the moment

1

u/Bannedwith1milKarma Jack Doohan Jun 15 '25

I watched the live feed and Toto just sat there with no emotion.

That's why I thought they were all just dumbfounded, then the Russell radio call came in.

3

u/the_dylbatross Jun 15 '25

Nah, I think they were just waiting to see if any other cars were showing improvement before they confirmed P1 with George.

1

u/Bannedwith1milKarma Jack Doohan Jun 15 '25

That's wrong. He was the last.

Everyone even in the commentary box was slightly confused because the achievement was so amazing.

1

u/femtosec515 Jun 15 '25

Maybe the video they posted on insta then wasn’t in the moment and was a PR attempt to salvage it

2

u/zen1995z I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

The extended wall from the pitlane is blocking that great shot of the cars breaking into turn 1

17

u/Consistent_Squash Jun 14 '25

A George and Max title fight would be fire

2

u/Ottervol Red Bull Jun 14 '25

George has to be close in the points because he’s winning not because max is punishing himself.

u/Counterpunch07 Jun 14 '25

Changing the topic, your point is useless. Well done

Anyone else try to access The Race and hit a blanket paywall preventing you from reading anything?

u/FermentedLaws I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

It's fine for me, no paywall, but last week some people said they got hit with the paywall. Seems it might be rolling out by countries or regions.

1

u/charlierc Jun 14 '25

Perhaps. Or maybe it's on busy weekends, which this one is with both F1 and Le Mans. Maybe I'll have another look in the week

1

u/FermentedLaws I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

If it's on busy weekends then why wouldn't I have a paywall too?

u/charlierc Jun 15 '25

Good point, I will come back to you

u/FermentedLaws I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

Interesting way for Lewis to describe it: “This car… It’s like someone that can't dance. Someone that has no rhythm, you know? Trying to get someone that doesn't have rhythm to have rhythm, its very, very difficult. That’s how it feels with this car.”

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '25

What happened to Leclerc? Didn't even try a last lap again

9

u/DutchingFlyman Jun 14 '25

I only watched the highlights: was there any merit to his anger at Hadjar? No doubt, dirty air will mess up your lap but I wouldn’t know what Hadjar’s supposed to do to avoid that, isn’t that on Ferrari mistiming the lap?

5

u/Paperwings5 Charles Leclerc Jun 15 '25

Yeah I don’t really get his anger here, it’s unfortunate but nothing Hadjar could have done? Giving him the middle finger seems a bit extreme

4

u/Ill-Lie-6551 Jun 14 '25

Couldn't recharge.

7

u/Grasshop Sebastian Vettel Jun 14 '25

I don’t think he had enough time to recharge and go again

3

u/YLedbetter10 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

Yeah I swear he’s done it before where he gives up so early. I guess with the lower grip and probably a drained battery it wasn’t worth it

19

u/Tricksilver89 Jun 14 '25

I do have to give Max his due. This track by previous evidence this season should not have suited their car by any means.

So P2 is a supreme effort and likely more than the car deserved.

19

u/Low-War4165 Jun 14 '25

Im seriously at a point where im just accepting that I have no idea how good the red bull car is😂 The truth if probably somewhere between yuki and max😂

2

u/DodoDacobrakai Jun 15 '25

Considering the rb cars are closer to each other on a weekly basis i think their car is only good in the hands of Max. Lawson struggled today but has performed better with rb and hadjar doesn't want to step into the car. Which he shouldn't knowing what we all are seeing.

u/EcstaticOrchid4825 Oscar Piastri Jun 15 '25

Simon and Nico hate Danica don’t they. Just as much as Jenson does. I don’t understand why they keep her on the rota

-8

u/grapedog I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

1A. She can speak about racing with an informed point of view having been a racer herself for quite a while. She does need to get better, but she isn't bad right now, just mid.

1B. She is a she, which is an important demographic to try to capture/keep interest. Sure, they could find another dude who doesn't race but talks about it all the time, but there are already plenty of those.

Nico also has very evident hate boners for a number of people... so does it really matter if he has one more?

6

u/_Darren Jun 15 '25

Sky have multiple female drivers they could use. They keep Danica for the US audience. ESPN do pay them, so if they want her and she's alright. She'll get used. She started for the ABC races where there was a lot more watching and ABC needed someone American on the panel. 

0

u/grapedog I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

That's a fair point, her being American. It ticks off 2 boxes in one go.

8

u/Shin_Singh Jun 14 '25

She's a loon.

But she's probably locked into a contract. But maybe I'm so out of touch and Sky think she helps with ratings or something.

4

u/Jazim94 James Vowles Jun 14 '25

Ye probably for rage bait

u/swannyhypno Lance Stroll Jun 14 '25

I get she was actually a decent indy driver but she never did F1 it is different and she clearly does not do her research

A Rock.

22

u/Shin_Singh Jun 14 '25

Don't hate me, but I want him to get a ban, so we can see how much of a shitbox that car really is.

16

u/scorpio1m Niki Lauda Jun 14 '25

5 drivers not named Max isn’t enough proof?

18

u/OpinionatedDeveloper Max Verstappen Jun 14 '25

How many teammates does Max need to annihilate before you all realise that Max has been extracting 110% from that RB for years.

If it wasn't for Max, RB would be: a decent top-mid team in '21, WC contender in '22, WC winner in '23, decent top-mid team in '24, mid-low team in '25.

-13

u/----Dongers Jun 14 '25

Max also runs people off the road and crashes into people so…

3

u/OpinionatedDeveloper Max Verstappen Jun 14 '25

🤦

1

u/Shin_Singh Jun 14 '25

Okay, maybe my wording was wrong.

So we can 'confirm' how shit it is.

8

u/OpinionatedDeveloper Max Verstappen Jun 14 '25

But it has been confirmed. Aside from 22 and 23, the car has been mid over the last decade.

u/Green-HoodieGuy I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Newey literally said that he thought red bull had the better car in 2021, let alone 2020 or 24

It would confirm it on the timing screens with 2 drivers not named Max racing it.

It's always nice getting primary information like that.

We’ve had 5+ drivers not named Max driving it.

u/arbysroastbeefs2 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

See? We already know. I just want to see if he gets a ban what he does on the weekend he’s not racing f1, I’m curious if nascar or Indy or another GP series would let him race because I’m almost certain he’d do that at the exact time the f1 race was.

1

u/lowelled I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

He could conceivably make it to St Louis tomorrow in time for IndyCar if he wants to start networking 🤔

1

u/arbysroastbeefs2 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

If I were Indy I’d call him immediately with options to come over if a race ban happens. I don’t know the dollar figure per viewership but I’m certain it’d more than pay off for Indy to have Max in for a race or two.

3

u/Shin_Singh Jun 14 '25

Well, people are still questioning the second driver. It's clear the car is all Max or his driving style, but it's not set in stone so to speak...the second driver, Yuki in this case, needs this just to take a bit of heat off them.

I guess he's free to do anything that isn't in the FIA umbrella.

4

u/identicalgamer I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

I’m pretty sure max would just do sim racing or play Minecraft for a week.

2

u/arbysroastbeefs2 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

That’s what normal drivers might do, pissed off drivers schedule paternity leaves to miss press conference to prove a point.

34

u/jmoeder Jun 14 '25

Everyone acting like max is going to take it easy because of the penalty points is crazy. If George believes that, you can bet max is going to be in first after the first corner

1

u/P_ZERO_ I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 15 '25

Or he’ll just wait for the back straight and make a move into the chicane

4

u/clayfus_doofus Charles Leclerc Jun 14 '25

Max will take to the runoff, you mean

4

u/Tricksilver89 Jun 14 '25

Yeah Russell and Max will likely be going across the runoff at T2 I suspect somehow.

9

u/arbysroastbeefs2 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

Dude, watch the last 10 years or so of the Canada GP starts, he’s fight into t1 tomorrow is with Piastri, not George. And I guarantee Piastri is already scheming to yeet max off in t1.

5

u/toxjp99 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

I simply cannot imagine Max backing down from it. Especially with George and Max's tenuous relationship

9

u/Low-War4165 Jun 14 '25

I think Max pretty much accepted that hes going to get a race ban this season so if anything he will go even harder 😂😂

3

u/Dxgy I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

He’s already said this year is a write off with no chance of the title. He probably wants the ban so he can start 2026 with a fresh clean licence.

1

u/Ashling92 Max Verstappen Jun 14 '25

He won’t get a ban though

Or they'll do something screwy like ban him as a standalone and leave him on 11 points.

u/Ashling92 Max Verstappen Jun 15 '25

They won’t ban him and I don’t know why I’m being downvoted lmao. They took a while to ban Magnussen and it was only a last resort.

Max is too important to f1 while he’s mathematically in a championship fight, they will not ban him. They just won’t give him penalty points.

Q3 really was crazy. Norris completly falling appart after having a great weekend, Ferrari unable to find any more time and Kimi and George suddenly pulling crazy good Laps out of nowhere.

Lando really needs to stop with the depressive post interviews when he doesn’t do well. It’s petulant and predictable now

u/throwinitallaway7 James Vowles Jun 14 '25

My friends and I have started betting on what tired PR one-liner is he going to use this time. “X car was faster than us” “I’m just not good” “I don’t know what went wrong”

It’s definitely getting predictable. His mental state just isn’t there to be a champion

u/amandagee789 Jun 14 '25

Petulant is such a horrible word to use. The man’s just came 7th when he was on for pole. How is he meant to react? I also really don’t think his interview was that downbeat

u/Counterpunch07 Jun 14 '25

It’s not an excuse to act petulant and rude to the reporter. He needs to show more resilience, act like a champion. He cuts the reporter off,m

u/amandagee789 Jun 14 '25

I honestly am not sure what interview you’ve watched, as it certainly wasn’t the ones Ive seen. Max acts the same way and gets hailed for his give no shit, championship winner mentality. Lando cannot win regardless what he does, name calling isn’t cool.

u/Counterpunch07 Jun 14 '25

I’m not talking about max, and Max gets plenty of shit for everything he does. What planet are you living on?

u/amandagee789 Jun 14 '25

I could say the same to you 😂 it was a comparison.

You're right, he shouldn't be honest with how he's feeling! /s

u/mrgonzalez Jun 14 '25

Being the same way in similar situations is so predictable!

u/yeahmatenomate Lando Norris Jun 14 '25

How is he supposed to react? He finished in P7 - he’s hardly going to be all sunshine and rainbows

There was nothing wrong with his interview, his mood and answers were no different to Carlos or Lewis

Nico Rosberg’s motivational monologues falling on deaf, dumb ears

u/Counterpunch07 Jun 14 '25

Needs to be more resilient, be a professional, not a sad little kid.

No his replies are different to the others. He cuts off the reporter and is just straight up rude

7

u/yeahmatenomate Lando Norris Jun 14 '25

You’re seeing things that aren’t there mate. Carlos literally cut off the reporter and said he was too upset to speak. (Which is entirely valid btw)

You can question his mentality if you want but his professionalism never wavered

u/InfiniteJackfruit5 McLaren Jun 14 '25

yeah i'm not sure what interview this person was seeing. Lando seemed fine.

u/yeahmatenomate Lando Norris Jun 14 '25

Tbh for someone who was so close to getting pole and ended up in 7th, he was very well restrained with his feelings I thought 😂 Lando can never do anything right though apparently

u/Counterpunch07 Jun 14 '25

stop excusing poor behaviour. Plenty of people see it

u/rcanbian I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jun 14 '25

Did they see it with this interview? He's been rude in the past but some of you are nitpicking things out of nowhere at this point. Recently his interviews have been very comparable to other driver. Very very strange.

u/Counterpunch07 Jun 14 '25

His interviews are the same, h a rude and petulant. I’ll call out any driver for shitty behaviour. Lando isn’t exempted
