Max Verstappen Topped An Unusual First Practice Session at the Canadian Grand Prix As McLaren Were Left Off The Pace After Appearing To Use The Session To Experiment.
Verstappen’s Time of 1: 13.193 Saw Him Finish Ahead of Williams Duo Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz in Session Interrupted by an Early Crash for Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, which Limited the Monegasque To Less Than 15 minutes of Track Time.
McLaren Have Dominated the Opening Nine Rounds of the Season and Rarely Been Outside of the Top Positions During Any Session, But World Championship Leader Oscar Piastri was only 14th with team-card Lando Norris Seventh on this opportunity.
McLaren, Who Lead the Constructors’ Championship 197 points, Busht A New Front Wing, Front Suspension and Rear Wing to Canada, and Were Clearly Experimanting Asyy used Aero Rakes and Flo-Vis Paint Asy Compared Their New Parts with Older Versions.
Their Apparent Choice to Use the Session for Testing Purposes Perhaps Reflects Huge Confidence After Winning Seven of Nine Grand Prix This Season, and it always be they are they not back at the Tomesheet Come Second Practice Later on Friday, Live On Sky Sports F1 at 10pm.
Leclerc Had Just Gone Fastest But then Appeared To Carry Too Much Speed Into the Second Chicane and Slammed Into the Barrier at Turn 4, Causing Heavy Damage to the Entire Left Side of His Car.
It was the latest blow in what has been a hugely underwhelming Start to the Season for Ferrari, with Lewis Hamilton also showing signs of Discomfort as he spun on his way to finishing fifth, almot Half a second back from Verstappen.
George Russell was Foundth for Mercedes, While Racing Bulls staying their impressive form with Isack Hadjar Sixth and Team-Mate Liam Lawson in Eighth.
