Arturo Fuente Masterpiece Maduro “A” (9x52) to enjoy the Canadian Grand Prix today! Perfect weather. It is rare to get the stars to align to allow the enjoyment of this beast of a cigar.
Good race!
cigar time was 2 hours 43 minutes!!!

Great final 15 laps. Sainz just didn't have quite enough to get the job done. Mercedes seem to have made a big leap in performance.
Good race?

I nursed a bowl of Samuel Gawith Brown No.4 Twist from lights to chequered flag in my Peterson XL02??.
Nice!!!! That’s a big bowl of goodness my friend.
Agreed. Sainz had all the stars aligned at the end, but _just_ not enough. I'm not so sure it was the packages, I think this one came down to a defending champion that wasn't intimidated, didn't waver, and made no mistakes. Sainz needed a mistake, however slight, to have a shot in my opinion, and would have had to do it in the final lap or so, lest he lose the position back anyway. That battle was drivers. Great race finish.
Yeah, one of the better ones.... I am glad at least one of us got to the track!
I had a bit of Penzance in a Blatter Canadian, then a waffle with maple syrup. Closest I cold get!

Yeah, Max drove a flawless race and deserved the win.
Charles had a great run and the start was fun with Fernando and Carlos going all out. DRS train is a bummer. Glad Ferrari could at least finish and even better for Carlos.
Arguably the 2000-2004 run with Ferrari was Schumacher's comeback, the start of his career was driving head to head with Senna in the early 90's.
Human reaction time peaks at the age of 24 so it makes sense that there is only a short window of opportunity for success.
Maybe the best stat to define an age limit for driver success is "Oldest Polesitter" where only five drivers have ever held pole position after the age of 40, and the last time it happened was Nigel Mansell in 1994 at the age of 41.
Since 1994 the only driver to reach the top 10 oldest polesitters list is Kimi Riakkonen at 38 years old.
So for Schumacher returning at the age of 41 in 2010 his chances of winning races were slim to none, especially after taking a break for four years prior.
Schumacher got a pole with Mercedes at Monaco but he didn't get to keep it because of grid penalties.
Would've loved to have seen what he could've done if he had the race winning Mercs that Nico and Lewis were driving.
Fernando seems to defy time. I think if he was in the other Red Bull seat he'd push Max all the way.
Is Leclerc penalized for the entire season? Does his use of a fourth power unit mean he has to take a back grid position for all remaining races? He drove a beautiful race in spite of many bad breaks. Great to see Lewis bouncing his way to the podium -- hope his body can withstand the punishment that car is putting out.
Good race. To bad about Checo, wanted to see him move his way through. I think everyone earned their points on this race. It was a joy to watch.
They can use only two Energy Stores (ES) and Control Electronics (CE), they may use up to eight Exhaust Systems (EX).
The most crucial elements have a limit of three, as is the case with the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Turbocharger (TC), the motor generator unit-heat (MGU-H) and the motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K).
So, a one race penalty, the first over limit part is 10 places but only 5 places after the initial over. That is compounded by 5 places for each additional component replaced at that time.
You can googlie the rules but make sure you search 2022. I’m sure I got some of that right. Haha
