Dennis, Rowland, Gunther, Wehrlein are your semi-finalists!!

We've got Andretti, Nissan, DS Penske and Porsche represented here!

Who's going to get the first Pole of the season? 

and yeah, that was near disaster for Gunther and JEV, what was Gunther thinking?

0,001 between Rowland and Dennis!! 

[Disgrace]

That semi-final seemed to break Ben Edwards.

Pasal Wehrlein VS Oliver Rowland

 

Porsche VS Nissan, The battle for Pole. 

[Disgrace]

That lap was a thing of beauty from Rowland, but it wasn't the fastest way to do it...

[thegamer23]

What a battle for Pole!!
Nail biters laps

But it's reignin cham Pascal Wehrlein who gets the first pole and the first 3 points of the season!!

Pre-race has started on TSN1 (Canada).

[Vielleicht]

I do like Pascal Wehrlein

[thegamer23]

Sunny and warm!

[thegamer23]

My bet: Rowland!

Think this is going to be a very hectic race, lots of unknowns!
How the attack mode dynamics will change with the super powerful AWD?

Let's go green in Brazil!!

[Jellyfishcake]

Missed qualifying, but looking forward to this one.

 

WIll be interesting to see if the Gen3 B Spec is the car I hoped Gen3 would be

[Peat]

It's on tele!

WE BACK!

[Jellyfishcake]

Ben Edwards and Andre Lotterer as commentators

 

That could be a fun combination if they're around for the season 

[Dara]

A wild Marshall appears

Aborted  start 

[FLB]

Green!

[Jellyfishcake]

Big hit there 

[Peat]

4wd single seaters are weird.

Back to racing!

[FLB]

And a bricked Lola.

[Jellyfishcake]

FE following F1's thing of not doing a SC with debris down the main straight 

[Peat]

So is it only 4wd in Attack Mode?

[ANF]

Very confusing.

[FLB]

Red!

[Muppetmad]

So... Dennis' car is live, and thus the red flag is the standard procedure to clear it? Am I understanding that right? I have to follow with Dutch commentary, and my Dutch is still in its early days...

Yeah that's what they've said on the main coverage.

 

Red flag by default because the car is in a "red state" i.e still live 

[sportyskells]

Is this the 1st time a red flag for a technical issue? 

[F1Frog]

I like this weird attack mode. Seems like the trick is to use it when nobody else is using it. Cassidy looks like the favourite, as always when the race is about being intelligent and good wheel-to-wheel, rather than raw speed.

[Muppetmad]

Well, while we're taking a breather, it's fair to say attack mode has gone from being very underpowered to being very overpowered this year! The strategy for deploying it will be key – and indeed, the goal will surely be to run it while others are not, and thus be able to make the most of cutting through the field.

[ANF]

Are those blood stains on Rowland's car? Hommage to casualties of war?

[MattK9]

Attack mode is awesome this year. It's actually being used as originally designed.

[FLB]

How long does it take to secure a car? 

[ANF]

I'm giving this five more minutes.

[Muppetmad]

Yeah, this is taking a while, and we presumably will have the ten-minute warning before the race restarts.

[ANF]

Restart in six minutes. Ha!

[Muppetmad]

Ahh, okay, six minutes.

You're being trolled by race control 

[sportyskells]

Is it standing or rollin̈g?

[thegamer23]

Caught up with the action while on red flag

That was hectic, i'm loving the new dynamics created by the AWD attack mode

Everything just feels much more dynamic and faster than last few seasons.

And no peleton feel, wich is a +1000

Looking forward for this restart!!

[thegamer23]

Here we go!!

[thegamer23]

Standing start!

[ANF]

So Cassidy will win, Evans will finish second.

[Muppetmad]

Yeah, surely this is Cassidy's to lose.

[thegamer23]

Taylor barnard will go all out with that much energy!

[FLB]

Green (again)!

[thegamer23]

Cassidy goes into attack!

[ANF]

He didn't make it.

[Jellyfishcake]

Vandoorne must have an issue, he was in top 10, now he's 14th and miles back
