Guess the Pole 2022: Round 9 - Canada

#1

Post by XcraigX »

Blame Canada!
It's been since 2019 that we have been to the Circuit du Gilles Villenueve due to extra heaping portions of precaution against COVID. Better safe than sorry or over-reaction? Either way, we have not tested the F1 machinery here for a while and this track often breaks the pattern of the most dominant team. Let's see what we have in store this year!

Get your guess in before the deadline!

--------------------------------------------------

Round 9 - Formula 1 AWS Grand Prix du Canada 2022, Circuit Gilles-Villenueve (Montreal) - 17-19 June

Track Length: 4.361 Km (2.71 Miles)
Race Laps: 70 (305.270 Km)

2019 Pole time: Sebastian Vettel (RedCarFerrarThing) 1:10.240 - Remember when Seb raced in Red?

The deadline for entries is before the start of Friday First Free Practice (Friday 18:00 GMT / 19:00 BST)

Oh, it's not next to each other, is it? They should have gone to Britain first, then it would make sense.

There was a contest put on by German TV for kids 5 and under on how to improve F1. This was the winning suggestion.
(I'm kidding, but it sounds believable at this point because I'm sure any adult could have thought of a better idea)

You know I almost put that only a man would come up with something like that. Then I realised that's sexist and mean, so I didn't put it :tongue: :wink:
