Pick the Podium - F-1 - AWS Grand Prix Du Canada, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada, June 17-19, 2022

Rooting for Mick Schumacher and Haas reminds me of rooting for John Andretti and Haas. Piss Poor Luck or young driver making a stupid mistake every race.

Ya got that right obxyankeefan and an excellent analogy. John Andretti with Haas was almost laughable on a weekly basis. He should have stayed in NASCAR with Richard Petty. But now that he has passed-on from cancer, Haas has to contend with a similar weekly scenario with Magnussen and Schumacher here in F-1. Wonder what Michael Andrett thinks of how his old pal is getting along?

Race ain't over yet, Schmoopster, and with Racing in general, anything can happen.

oh dont I know it

 

[Retroram52]

Well looks as though LeClerc ain't progressing any further.

 

[Retroram52]

oh dont I know it

Yep, you would know more than anybody being a former racer yourself!!

 

[Retroram52]

Looks as though Pit stops are in progress.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

not to stir up the local Hamilton fans.
but.....
If that was reversed, would Hamilton fans want Verstappen penalized?

In the last Third of the race with 20 laps remaining.

Yea, I would.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

well, there is that whole anything can happen shit......... Happening!
Safety car is out.

Magnussen is having a good day for Haas. He has broken the 15th Place ceiling and is currently running 12th. If he finishes in the top ten, it is another mini-victory for the Haas prgression in F-1.

 

[Retroram52]

We shall see if Sainz can hold-off the assault by Hamilton for Second Place.

I'm trying to figure out how Alonso can Matrix 2 cars in front of him

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Can Leclerc catch Russell & ruin Retros sweep & make me not feel so bad about not making the change?

 

[Retroram52]

Four circuits left!

 

[Retroram52]

Sainz is def a comin' on Verstappen. He is right there.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Russell looks to keep his streak of top 5's all season in tact.

Pretty cool stat

 

[Retroram52]

Sainz couldn't pull it off.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton had a great drive today and maybe the Mercs have finally got a handle on that bunny-hopping going on.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen wins it, followed by Sainz, Hamilton in Third, and Russell in fourth.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Leclerc came from the back to finish 5th
Wonder if he will be considered for driver of the day?
