Reaction to Canadian GP sprint qualifying

Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy.

For the nine millionth time we are so back, never been more back.

Finally some formula one to enjoy and lots of competitive sessions.

We've had our first one today already, Sprint Qualley.

We're going to get into all of that Tommy.

But how excited are you to get your teeth stuck back into some formula one?

Just so glad just to see formula one cars running, running competitively

and being back to actually talk about cars on track finally.

Finally indeed.

Now, something I want to tell you all about, which I think we're both feeling

a little bit smug about the actual name of it because we're quite excited.

But it's our brand new P1 live show tour and it's called Super Podding.

All right, I think it's one of the best super clipping different type name thing

that you could possibly do.

I don't know about you, Tommy, but I'm absolutely buzzing with it.

The graphic, the graphic is unbelievable.

It's so good.

If you're listening on audio, you have to go check out the graphic

if you haven't seen it already.

So we are going to Amsterdam on the 20th of August, the Delamar Theatre.

11th of November, Leeds Geely Club, 12th of November, Cardiff Geely Club.

14th of November, Manchester at home.

15th of November, Glasgow, Geely Club, unsurprisingly.

The 17th of November, Birmingham Geely Club.

And the 18th of November, London, the O2 Forum, Kentish Town.

No, that is not the O2 arena.

We are not playing to tens of thousands of people.

I don't know if we sell out.

Maybe we'll move, move it.

Maybe, maybe we will.

But there you go.

If you want to go and get your tickets, we'd love to have you there.

It's going to be an awesome way to round out the season and have a lot of fun.

And of course, Amsterdam is not that far away, but the tickets are flying off the shelves,

I think, for Amsterdam.

So go and get your tickets if you want to come and enjoy some superpotting banter.

Right, Tommy, let's get into Sprint qualifying and start with SQ1,

where the bottom six were Perez, Stroll, Gasly, Bottas, Albon and Lawson.

Now, we've mentioned the bottom six.

If you didn't watch Sprint quality and you sometimes just use our podcast

to get up to speed, Albon and Lawson didn't even take part.

Albon sadly had a collision with a groundhog, which was actually a massive crash for him.

It took out the front left tire of his car, speared him into the wall

and you could see that pretty much instantly that he was not going to be able

to make Sprint quality only a couple of hours later.

Yeah, it's getting for Albon, particularly when you see what

what Carlos Sainz managed to do in that session and so unfortunate.

We've seen people hit groundhogs before and things at this track.

It's been a problem that's kind of not insane, but it's happened a few times

over the years and it's just so unfortunate for Albon that it wasn't

even like took his front wing off or something.

The fact that it damaged his car, speared him into the wall, big damage

and couldn't even make it out for Sprint qualifying.

OK, mate, emotional there with your voice.

Like you really, these late nights, mate, they're catching up with you.

And then also Lawson as well had problems in free practice one

and also wasn't able to take part in Sprint quality, which I think was more

of a surprise to not see him out there because Linblad was cooking.

And I think racing balls had a phenomenal opportunity to potentially

score points with both cars tomorrow.

But it's all in the hands of Linblad, which we'll get on to a little bit later on.

And then a big scalp apart from the two that obviously didn't take part.

But it was ghastly, you know, considering the fact we had an Albon

and a Lawson not taking part in Sprint quality one, you think, well,

that opens up the door for not many other drivers that are quick to be knocked out

because you'd think the two Aston Martins, you think the two Cadillacs.

And then it's done.

Science Delivered closed the door.

But no, because Alonso did did some Alonso things, drove, was driving

pretty fast, doing pretty good things and then speared into the wall

because he was going too fast and locked up both of his front tires.

At a corner that we've seen so many times, you need that literal point,

one of a second reaction to bail out of the corner.

But Alonso had a little lock up, decided now I'm going to try and make the corner

and it ended in, I was going to say, tears.

He made it out of SQ1.

So maybe maybe he's not too upset about it.

Yeah, yeah, it wasn't as I joked on the watch along, you know, it's not like

a Michael Schumacher Rascals moment where he's done it deliberately.

But it obviously did help him in a weird way.

I think he was very quick anyway, that he could well have got through.

He did a great job.

I love it is into afterwards.

It's just classical Alonso that was like, well, you know, put the car where it

shouldn't be and I've got to drive really, really fast.

So these things happen.

And yeah, I think if you you mentioned at the start of, you know, if you're

listening to this podcast and you've not watched the session, one of your first

thoughts is probably, where's Alonso in that list of SQ1?

Because we've not seen any of the Cadillacs or Asta Martins make it into

a Q2 or an SQ2 this year.

But Alonso, good surprise, gets in into the session, doesn't he?

Tommy's good surprise.

He also ended up in the world.

So we will be discussing that, of course, on Sunday, depending on how

all unfolds from here.

But yeah, a brilliant job up until that point for Alonso.

But of course, it also secured him a position out of it.

However, which way you see that, we will leave that up to you.

But yeah, apart from that, of course, Perez actually, you know, we speak

about Perez being knocked out.

He was very close to making it through as well.

And I think that was a phenomenal job from Czecho.

Eight tenths he put on Bottas, which is a big old margin.

If you speak, I will bring up the P13 from Bottas in China.

So, you know, I've got a backvaltry where I can.

But yes, Bottas is definitely struggling for raw speed at the moment.

So question, people on Patreon remember Justin, if not for the red flag,

could we have seen Czecho into SQ2?

I think there was definitely a chance, I guess, with no red flag,

everybody's getting clean laps in.

There was, of course, a manic rush right at the end,

because there was about 35 seconds of leeway between a fast lap

and then the prep time.

Which became 15 seconds when Hamilton didn't get it.

When Hamilton was like, you know what?

I'm a chill. I'm a chill, guys.

I am in no rush.

But I think Perez probably still would have missed out.

But it's not to take anything away from his performance.

I think he's just hampered by what that Cadillac can do.

But he's certainly got everything out of the car.

Yeah, definitely.

He seemed quite gutted about not making it into SQ2,

which maybe shows, you know, how much Cadillac have improved already.

And he's having a fantastic season.

You know, he's been able to do things this season

and put in decent performances and race midfield cars.

You know, we've mentioned it quite a bit in drive ratings

that he's managed to put in these good performances.

And this was another one from Perez.

He's having a really good season so far,

despite the limitations of the car.

And yeah, it's a shame for him.

But at the end of the day, realistically,

had he got into SQ2, he's finishing like 16th anyway.

So it's not making a huge difference,

even there would have been like a nice feel-good story.

Yeah, it would have been.

But if Cadillac keep on this sort of trajectory,

I think they will have their moment in the sun

because they are certainly improving.

They've improved a lot since the first race of the season.

And I think they can all be very proud

of what they've achieved so far.

Question from P1Patreon member Lex Wakeman,

otherwise known as maybe a Pierre Gasly slash Checo fanboy, maybe?

Why on earth did Lewis go out on the final bit of SQ1?

Because he and anyone else can do whatever they want.

And that is just part of the game.

And yeah, you could argue that why did he need to do it?

Because he was comfortably through,

he was in actually in first, wasn't he, at that stage,

looking very, very quick in SQ1.

And yeah, it was kind of amusing,

not for the people that wanted to do a time,

it was Lewis that was quite far,

I think it was third in the queue

and was slow kind of starting.

So anyone that was already very close didn't make it.

But I think, you know, you can blame Lewis,

you've got to question why a lot of the people

that were so desperate to get through

and on the bubble weren't further up.

And I know Alpine, it's difficult for them

because as far as I'm aware, they're quite far down the pit lane.

I think they're the first garage with where, you know,

they finished in the Constructors' Championship.

So it doesn't help, but you do wonder if it's possible,

had they just kind of gone early and waited there

or what they can do to make it happen.

And I know Gasly, we saw him overtaking cars like crazy,

but it was all a bit too late.

It certainly was.

I really don't think there's much that Alpine and Gasly

could have done in that situation.

I think they are just hampered by the position

that they are in the pit lane

and the fact that they're not allowed to just go out

and queue for minutes on end,

especially if there's been a red flag.

I think they have to wait for a call

to be able to enter the pit lane,

to be able to then go out on track.

So I'm sure that they are switched on enough

to know that they weren't supposed to be languishing around

and allowing other cars to go out there.

Back to the Lewis question.

Completely agree with you, Tommy.

You can do whatever he wants.

I think that the comical slash annoying,

depending on who you support thing,

was the fact that he was just trundling down the pits

when it was a moment of pure rush.

Why didn't the people behind overtake him, though?

I don't know if they're allowed to at that stage.

Gasly did, didn't he?

No, he did it on the exit.

So once he went past the pit exit line,

whether you turn off the pit limiter,

I think that's where he started to stay.

Yeah, but I feel like Lewis has already passed

and stood quite slow, but I guess you can't overtake him

in the pits when he had stopped, I guess, yeah.

Yeah, I think that was where most of the time was lost anyway.

But I mean, realistically, you look at the...

I know that you know not much has gone on in SQ1

when Corin Chandox on the Skypad

analysing Bottas missing the line by about eight seconds.

So it wasn't like there was a driver that missed it

by a really small margin.

You know, Gasly was nowhere.

So as much as Gasly passed about six cars

on the outside of the pit exit,

which I found to be very entertaining

and almost F1 game-like, to be honest with you.

But yeah, Lewis can do whatever he wants

and it was just a bit of an unfortunate time

for Fernando Alonso to have put it in the wall.

Question from M-Sully 013.

Gearbox, I assume that means.

I am of the opinion that if you start...

I mean, as much as it's such an unfortunate moment,

I don't think you can have these external factors

to be brought in when it comes to allocation

because where do you limit this?

Where does it begin? end?

You know, if a bird flies across the circuit,

a driver has to take avoiding action,

hits the wall, their PU is broken.

You know, it's just the nature of Formula One.

It's like having a failure.

As much as it is really annoying,

really unfair on Alex and for Williams,

I just don't think it's something

that can really be introduced.

I'm trying to think back to when we had the drain cover stuff.

That was the Carlos Sainz one that comes to mind

that he got a penalty for that, actually.

He didn't take Carlos because he damaged his car

and had to essentially replace the parts,

and then I think it ended up with a grid penalty,

potentially, or something along those lines,

and there was a lot of outrage over it

because it wasn't his fault, but you're right.

Unfortunately, it is just the luck of the game

or bad luck of the game,

and it's just part of Formula One.

You sometimes have good luck

and sometimes you have incredibly bad luck,

and you to groundhog and go straight into the wall

and don't even qualify.

It's just really unlucky for Albin,

but it opens a can of worms

if you start allowing for these things

because then teams start going,

oh, well, this was an external factor,

or we did it on this curb that was loose,

and teams would just try and find loop holes everywhere,

and it just would be a bit of a mess.

Yeah, I do think that when it comes to circuits

and perhaps a lack of surveying

their own track conditions,

that there is a financial link there

where teams can start chasing circuits

to be like, well, the circuit

literally wasn't up to scratch,

but when it comes to allocations for stuff

and the actual effect that it has on the sport,

I don't know, I just...

I think there has to be a hard and fast rule.

There's a lawyer side of damages and things,

and then there's a sporting side.

When they had the...

Was it Lotus?

I think ran over a drain cover in Malaysia,

and then they were chasing damages from Sipang,

and maybe that was actually one of the reasons

why they were able to continue on, I don't think,

but yeah, it was...

Those kind of things I can understand

where teams will go after financially,

but from a sporting perspective,

I think it just has to be a...

Just bad luck.

Yeah, exactly, as much as it is very, very annoying.

Let's now head to SQ2,

where the bottom six in this session

were Hulkenberg, Bortoletto, Colla Pinto,

Ocon, Bearman, and Alonzo.

It was pretty close as well for Max Verstappen.

I had not said his name, although at one point, Tommy,

you thought that I might well have been saying his name,

because he had a very steady lap,

and that's putting things nicely.

It just wasn't really hooked up.

He was down in ninth,

but there was enough of a gap between him

and that next sort of run of midfield cars,

about two or three tenths,

which gave him that buffer,

and that's something we've just seen just in general,

I think, so far in 2026 Formula One,

that the chasm between the top eight,

the top four teams,

and the rest of the field is so big

that even if there are these moments of

poor laps, like Leclerc, for example,

I remember him in those first couple of sessions,

what was constantly backing out of laps

for one reason or another,

and he's a second off the fastest time,

but he's still chilling.

Yeah, and then you're a second off the fastest time last year,

and you're in 16th or something,

so this is the kind of

good fortune for those top teams,

that there is this massive chasm,

and kind of what we saw after testing,

the only driver who we'll get on to

is Limblad, that somehow managed to,

you know, and racing bulls looking quick,

we didn't get to see what Lawson could do,

but yeah, Max was saved very much

by the fact that

we saw just the top four teams

were so clear and Limblad,

and it just meant no one else could kind of touch them,

and we've mentioned kind of, you know,

Gasly and how crazy it was,

but I think even Alpine this weekend

didn't look like they were

well clear of the kind of midfield,

like we saw last time out,

so it does feel like that midfield

kind of pack could well,

even though they're so far off the top teams,

that kind of the fight for ninth

could change a lot

as we kind of see it throughout each race.

Yeah, and I think it's to be expected

with the nature of where we are with these regulations,

there are constant massive halls of upgrades

coming, some teams not upgrading at all.

I'm looking at Ferrari and Aston Martin,

they've brought nothing this weekend,

and then you've got Mercedes bringing

I think eight pieces of upgrades,

you've got McLaren with seven,

even though they're a bit smaller.

One thing you can count on

is Audi being 11th and 12th.

No matter how much the midfield mixes up,

Audi lock in 11th place every week, it feels like.

And then one of them won't start,

and the other one will have issues,

and neither will score points

if Audi's season is anything to go by.

Fast but very fragile.

Ocon, our qualified bearman,

of course Ocon had all of these

incorrect rumours going around

about him being replaced mid-season.

Of course he absolutely wrote off the front of his car

in free practice one,

and we were wondering what was going to really happen

for him for the rest of the weekend,

but he was able to beat bearman

who had a very scruffy session

in SQ2, which was a shame,

because Oli's had a great start to the season,

but maybe a couple of steady weekends

is not what I expected to see,

but Haas may well just be falling

behind already,

which is a very quick turnaround

from what we had seen in the first couple of races.

Definitely, I do wonder

were Haas just really good

around Melbourne maybe,

but they had a decent start, didn't they,

and they did well in China as well,

and we kind of thought that they were

comfortably...

It looked like Haas and Alpine were

like the stars of the midfield,

but Haas, if you like, really

fallen back, it feels like,

and particularly bearman

had that amazing start to the season,

where I think he was scoring

like P7s and P8s and things

and looking really good,

but it's not going his way at all,

and the gap, again,

is just absolutely massive

to the top teams,

and you mentioned this in the watch along,

for a lap that's like

a 113, the field spread

is absolutely enormous.

Certainly is. It can only get smaller

over the next however many years

we have these regulations for.

Let's now go to the final part

of Sprint qualifying

SQ3, where the top 10

were Russell, Antonelli, Norris,

Piastri, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen,

Hajar, Linblad and Sines,

2x2x2x2, and then

Linblad and Sines.

First question, straight into it,

Formula LT 63,

is George Russell back?

Kind of,

but I think it's very...

it's a very kind of quick

thing to jump on and say that

Russell's turned his season around completely,

because at the end of the day,

he was 0.07 quicker than his

teammate,

and it's a very small margin,

could have easily gone the other way.

He looked a lot more

comfortable, even though

he had that spin in FP1,

and we're thinking, oh no,

it's George Russell's season really

unraveling,

but he's got pole position,

but it is just one session, and

at the end of the day, Mercedes are

clear.

We're kind of like, it feels like

reminiscent of the start of the season, saying that

3.10th gap,

when we all thought that maybe

people had caught up, and that

little qualifying trick

that they had that got blocked

would slow them down a bit, but

no, they are rapid again,

miles clear, on a very

short lap as well, to be

3.10th clear of the McLarens.

And yeah,

Russell has improved,

but it's such

a small margin.

We were used to seeing Russell putting quite a

lot of time on Antony last year,

and it was still very close between them, but

it's all going to come down to

tomorrow, not just

the actual sprint race, but also

qualifying again for the big

race, where the big points are handed out.

Exactly.

I think it's very

early to say whether he's back or not, but it's a

strong performance out the blocks from

George, but it's not like he has the advantage

he had over Kimmy last year,

when they were around Canada, but

of course, two very different cars.

So you can't really say that the form

that we saw last year will be completely

translated to this year, but George has done

a great job. This is what he needed to do.

You think about the squeaky bum time

that he had in Free Practice 1, where he

very nearly wrote the front right

suspension off, when he had a spin

into the first couple of corners and

had a little love tap with the wall

to bounce back from that

to get sprint pole position.

It's going to be fascinating to see how

turns one and two go with those two,

if they are side by side into

the first couple of corners, but

let's wait and see.

If I come away with about six

points this weekend in the predictions, because I've

backed George Russell the entire way through,

then George Russell may

well be back. Let's put it that way.

So we shall see for the rest of the

weekend. Question from P1P,

captain of 3420.

Will Ferrari ever

figure out the soft

tyres?

So

I said a few things in the watch

long, very much broken clock,

twice a day type vibes, but

I did 100%

predict that

we were going to see, we saw Hamilton fastest

in the first session

and basically looking incredibly competitive

up until we

get to SQ3 where they go from the

mediums to the softs, and we have seen this

so many times

where they just don't

have the same level of grip

and confidence than they do on the mediums.

I don't understand what it is.

Clearly there's something within

the car and the way they fire up the tyres

that the mediums just work better

and have done for a very long time.

Hamilton wasn't miles off, don't get me wrong.

Half a tenth, he had a lock up into

the hairpin before the long back straight.

Without that, he's P3

and maybe we're not talking about that.

But Lewis was looking incredibly

impressive. He'll be

pretty gutted I would say, starting

P5 tomorrow.

Perhaps a chance in main qualifying

to sneak into

P3. But I said, I was like

when we get to SQ3 I guarantee

both McLaren's will be ahead of the Ferraris

and that is exactly what happened.

And it was

instant as well, wasn't it? We saw Hamilton

mess up his first run.

Huge moment coming out of the

turn to

kind of getting on the traction.

And yeah,

it's the same old story with Ferrari

that they look very quick and as soon as

we get on the soft tyres,

they don't have the same level.

I think Hamilton definitely could have got

the two McLaren's

had it gone his way.

But yeah, it's a

disappointing one for Ferrari

for sure because

I guess that only saving grace

is the fact that McLaren aren't

miles ahead of them, which I thought

might be the case.

It's a small win I guess.

A small win to be behind them,

so not really a win in the slightest,

but I think a weird small win

and I can't believe I'm saying this is that I'm happy with

the Charle-Claire P6,

800's off Hamilton because

it was going to be so much worse

than that. LeClaire looked like he was on the

back foot the entirety of the qualifying session

and then, yeah, to be four tenths

off Poland starting P6

is obviously not what I was hoping for

after Bahrain pre-season testing, but

it's kind of the best

I could have hoped for. For him to be alongside

Hamilton when Hamilton, yeah,

you were thinking Hamilton

would have been three or four places

ahead of him, so, yeah. But it was not

so a great bounce back

from Ferrari P5 and P6 on the grid.

Love that. It's not even like I can

really rely on their fast starts anymore

because McLaren have literally the same starts

as them nowadays, so maybe

all four of them will be ahead of the Mercedes

come turn one. Don't think so, it was a very

short run. Next question,

actually, completely linked with it.

People on picture remember Cece Hollister. Who leads

after turn one?

I'm going to be boring and say George Russell.

I know that

the McLaren's will be strong.

Lando has given himself

an amazing opportunity to think that

he was actually P9 in that first run.

Looking like he

messed up his lap completely to start

third.

They start quick. He'll be on the

clean side, so I think a lot

of people will say that Lando has a good chance.

But I just see

a really short run down to turn one.

I do think Mercedes

may have

figured it out

based on, you know, George Russell hasn't had

particularly bad starts

anywhere near as much as Kimi Antonelli,

even though they've not been amazing

compared to the likes of McLaren and Ferrari.

And it is a short

run down to turn one.

Then even after that,

there's not really

many places to

pass. And I think by the time we get halfway

around the lap, you think

Mercedes should have kind of

fired up

everything and be fine. So

I'm going to say Russell

leads.

But I'm still very hyped

for it because I think it's still very,

very tasty indeed to

see just

how much Antonelli

risks, I think,

to get into the lead where they plays it safe

because it's only

a point.

It is only a point.

I think

it's Antonelli.

Yeah, exactly. I really don't think that

Kimi, judging by all

the things we've seen so far this year and the

fact he's on the dirty side of the grid,

I think it'll be Russell leads

out of turn one just from

Norris. Then it'll be Piastri

and Antonelli will be fourth.

Then it'll be the two Ferraris. That's

how I see it.

Unless Antonelli has sorted it out, Mercedes

have said they've found fixes and this, that and the other.

They'd also said they'd found things in

the simulator I think prior to this weekend.

if McLaren can get off the line

which they absolutely can,

then Antonelli will be under pressure.

Despite it being a short run,

it doesn't take much to lose a position or two.

So we'll see.

That will definitely

challenge Antonelli once again, being the championship

leader. Does he just settle for a third

or fourth? Doesn't really matter too much.

Two or three points lost to George.

So yeah, let's see. That's going to be interesting

isn't it with Antonelli?

When he manages...

How he manages this? Is he thinking

about the championship already

and thinking that it's better

just to lose a couple of points to George here and not do anything

silly? Or

is he going, no, I am

absolutely sending on my teammate to turn one?

Yeah, ideally Antonelli gets a

slightly better start than Russell when they're side by side

into turn one. That's what I want to see

and how that would unfold. That's the best

scenario, apart from Leclerc, of course

leading out of turn one.

And finally,

I guess a quick shout out to Limblad.

I think he deserves

one of those for sure because he was...

I don't think he really got his

plaudits, at least from what I could hear

in the broadcast

of not only being P9,

but just so far

clear of the rest of the midfield.

It was like he was in a red bull.

Yeah, it was such a great

performance from Limblad.

And he's been off the back

of a couple of pretty steady races, it has to be said.

Of course, the first race of the season was amazing

for him. But then, of course,

he was on the back foot in China. I think he only managed

to get a few laps before they went straight into a sprint weekend.

But Limblad here, with this

sprint weekend, it's worked out phenomenally

well so far. So it's a well-under

Limblad and then for signs as well

to make it into the top ten, although

they need to be in the top eight, just got points.

Indeed, yeah.

It's a shame for them that

it looks like the top eight.

Kind of all things

normal.

We know that doesn't always happen in Formula One, but

the top eight are going to lock it out.

But Limblad's been

it's not even a case where he's just kind of

put in an amazing lap in SQ3

and got into P9, who's

consistently great.

Don't want to take anything away from him, obviously.

We didn't get to see what

Lawson could do to see whether it is

just the case that the racing ball

is fantastic. But at the end of the day

as a rookie, he's delivered a fantastic

performance

and almost beat Hajjar

which

was looking like he might

even beat Hajjar or

even Verstappen

with the pace that that racing

ball had. So yeah,

a great performance from Limblad

and we've not really seen

a huge amount from him since

his amazing debut, so it's nice to see.

And also, you know, you're saying about

we don't know what Lawson could have done

well thankfully we have a sprint weekend.

That means we have another qualifying session.

Yes, Lawson will be slightly on the back foot

in terms of practice running, but

we will see that other racing ball

ideally

in another fast competitive session

qualifying session to see just where

that racing ball

deserves to be. But I really don't think there's much

more that Limblad could have done. Otherwise

they're beating the main team

of Red Bull. So there

you go. We are finally

poised for the sprint race

tomorrow and then of course main qualifying will be

live for every single

competitive session. If you want to come and join us

for our watch along, we'll be live on YouTube

and Twitch. So please come and join us there. Tommy,

final thoughts please. Just bring

on the the race start and

so hyped for it to see

wrestling Antonelli side by side

and what the McLarens can do.

And yeah, it's just great to have

Formula One back finally.

And yeah, looking forward to

the watch along and please join us

because it's going to be a good one.

Certainly as we will see you very soon. Lots of love.

Bye.
