Will we see another ultra-consistent performance from Verstappen? Will Alonso finally get his 33rd? Will Lewis in the new Mercedes claim a victory, 16 years after his maiden win?

How will Ferrari bungle the strategy this weekend?

    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

    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.

      Verstappen sounds so relaxed nowadays. Deservedly confident with a reliable car.

    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’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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      Forecast looks like rain. Doubt that’ll stop Max though

      Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans. It is only logical to assume we’re due for a big Ferrari fuck up.

        Used up all their strategy last weekend. They really should learn how to budget

      At this point, a weekend where everything goes along smoothly (him, his race engineer, pit stops and strategy) would look like a victory

    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.

    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.

      I’m still not convinced mercedes is above Aston given how they performed well at Spain last year before dropping down again after. Did the upgrades work or does their car just suit that track still?

    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.
