Canadian GP: Free Practice 1 Results

Kimi Antonelli topped a red flag-heavy opening practice for the Canadian Grand Prix with a 1m13.402s to lead a Mercedes one-two ahead of George Russell, finishing 0.142s clear of his teammate.

Lewis Hamilton was third for Ferrari, 0.774s off the pace, with Charles Leclerc fourth and Max Verstappen completing the top five just under a second off the benchmark.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were sixth and seventh for McLaren, both over a second off the pace, while Arvid Lindblad impressed in eighth for Racing Bulls.

The running was heavily interrupted by three red flags, first for Liam Lawson stopping on track, then a high-speed crash for Alex Albon after contact with a trackside marmot, and finally Esteban Ocon hitting the wall in the closing minutes.

Sprint qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix begins at 4:30pm local time (6:30am AEST).
