2012 Canadian Grand Prix Thread

Pirelli will be bringing the same yellow branded soft “primes” and red branded super soft “options” My guess is we are looking at a two stopper!

[airshifter]

I would think a two stopper would be the norm, but I think we have seen single stop strategies from some teams in recent years. Combined with "maybe rain" situations such as Monaco it could lead more teams to single stop.

I usually enjoy the Canadian race, even if there isn't a great deal of passing as a norm.

Montreal is normally much harder on the tyres than Monaco so I would think 2 stops would be minimum with 3 more likely.

Lotus and Mercedes should be strong in qualifying as they are quite quick in a straight line but I think this one might be a Red Bull vs McLaren affair in the race. I don't expect Ferrari to be that strong unless the planned updates work very well.

[F1boat]

I hope for many stops and a thriller like in Spain, not another procession. But if the tires are strong enough for one stop, the race I think will be very boring.

Hopefully the race matches the drama of last year!

Hopefully the race matches the drama of last year!

I liked the idea of having a dinner break in the middle of the race, I hope they keep that in for this year too

[Wasted Talent]

Hopefully I won't be wrong but long straights plus DRS means overtaking should be a bit easier than average so teams will be able to go more aggressive on tyres so 2-3 stops. Might mean some drivers opt out of Q3.

Also a chance there will be some rain over the GP weekend, but we can't expect a repeat of last year's rain and drama....................can we????

I hope that the race will be 2 hours and will not end in some ungodly hour...

Regarding the possible disruption by the disgruntled students , they have made an offer of terms to settle the dispute , and we now wait to see if some kind of compromise will be adopted .

Perhaps the pressure put on by naming the weekend as a target has had more effect than in Bahrain .

[F1boat]

Naming the weekend as a target is bullying and it is ridiculous.
