2023 Canadian Grand Prix - Practice & Qualifying Thread

I already regret buying another year of F1TV.

Next year I will not renew it, prolly gonna be another Max show again... Not wasting 60€ again on this trigger happy red flag show.

Well...there are also old races. And you can watch the 2004 season at its full glory.

I'd say the production value of F1Tv is top notch and much better than SkyF1. And if you have multiviewer, then you can have your own race control.

That is a clear example of all the underlined bull **** that is f1.Lemans wins all day everyday.what a fabulous first act from the FIA circus.FOOLS IN ACTS.

[Alonsomaniac]

What an utterly useless organization the FIA is.

Erm.........the CCTV used is a circuit owned system. Race Control only plugs in.

You know the FIA govern WEC and LeMans right?

*facepalm*

ACO hold the rights to Le Mans, and run all the sports car events in Europe. The deal between the ACO and FIA is just for commercial rights to promote their championship as a "world" championship, as the FIA hold the rights to that in France.

You mean like how Liberty run F1, but is governed by the FIA?

[paolo lalli]

Going on 15 years for a world championship for ferrari now that should brighten up your day.

Interesting… race pace looks close to Redbull. 0.2-0.3s on mediums

[elnano14]

Our race pace looks unexpected solid
Charles is more or less matching Max's pace with an much older tyres (7 laps older)

[elnano14]

Cheles just did a 1'17.184s (while Max is around 1'17.3s)
No tyre deg at all

Edited: 1'17.204 the lap later

[JacKy]

21 Laps old mediums and the pace is still stable

[JacKy]

Fresh Hard tyres for Leclerc

The race will be another story iam not convinced with tyre wear.merc big improvers a damp track could be a favour for ferrari a win here probably not but some good points.

[PURE PASSION]

Ferrari detected an issue with LEC's front wing during his stint on M, so they changed it when he pitted for H. According to reports the damage was worth a loss of around 10/15 DWF points.

just putting it here.
all this doesnt mean anything at all if on Sunday we see again the bad race-pace /tire management!!!

I lost faith on this team more or less after the second race....poor Fred inherited a $hait car thanks to Binotto....this years pretty much a write off

Roll on 2024

too early mate !!! Better say 2026 and if we mess it up again with the new engines , lets call it after 10 years to be safe !!!!

Actually, you gotta good point there

[paolo lalli]

If ferrari get one car on the podium then it will be a good result anything less than that is a fail.

RB didn’t find the right set up yet & also with defined engines. Nothing much to take in FP’s.

Ferrari suffers in race with full load fuel.

[tifosi1993]

Yup, not buying into our "strong" Friday pace. The platform isn't stable, the car treats its tyres differently. They may look good on the mediums but would struggle on the hards and vice versa. Ferrari still haven't found answers to the problem of tyre window fluctuations.

RB is the favorite. Ferrari's battle is with Mercedes and AM. At least Charles is happy, so that's a positive sign.

[JacKy]

Leclerc was on a flier before the RED flag. And it was interrupted

I think we have the Qualy pace once again. We may got the pole.

And our race pace seems to stable on long runs.

I am hoping for a podium at least.

[PURE PASSION]

Just a quote.
when Lec switch to Hards , he did 1 or 2 laps 1:18+ and then he did 1:17:0 and 1:16:9 .
The Friday pace was great, literally . BUT IT WAS JUST FRIDAYS pace . We dont know the programme of each team and another thing is that i saw several teams with good-goodish times like Alpine and McLaren. Alonso also was the fastest by some hundreds but he did half the laps of the others. So no solid conclusions !!!! I read somewhere that we used the Pirelli tire testing in Barcelona to try different set -up and that they found soe encouraging solutions-results. Again this s just rumors. Whatever we say ,good or bad the Sunday checking flag wll say the truth !!!

[patrese86]

It feels like a long road back to convince the support that we are heading in the right direction. I'm certainly not expecting anything in the hope to be proved wrong.

[paolo lalli]

Zero expectations .Everything above zero is a bonus.

During the long runs, we were 6-8 kph faster than the RB on the straights. Which suggests low DF setup, but the car was still good in the sector 2.

But yeah, RB is still the favourite. I would be very happy with a podium here.

Just a small "explanation" , Merc did their long runs earlier in the sesson with greener track.

Everything yesterday looked like an early 2022 FP, when that strong performance in FP could translated in a good race on Sunday!!! NOW ?????????!!!!!
