Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso set the fastest time in Friday’s first free practice session but it was business as usual in FP2 when Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton went even quicker.
This morning, under grey skies, Alonso set the pace on 1m17.238 to head up the timesheet by just 0.016 seconds from Hamilton.
Ferrari has brought several updates here in Montreal. The F14 T features numerous changes under the bodywork in addition to new, low downforce front and rear wings.
Hamilton ranked second ahead if his teammate, Nico Rosberg.
On this high-power circuit, the Red Bulls could only rank 4th with Sebastian Vettel and 6th with Daniel Ricciardo.
After the lunch break, the battle resumed. Hamilton drove like a man possessed and set the best time at 1m16.118.
He beat his teammate Rosberg by almost two tenths of a second.
Sebastian Vettel planted his Renault-powered Red Bull RB10 in third place, beating the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
The Williams-Mercedes came after, with Felipe Massa ahead of Valtteri Bottas.
The McLaren duo of Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button followed in 8th and 9th place, respectively.
Jean-Eric Vergne made it two Renault powered cars in the top ten with the Toro Rosso ahead of Romain Grosjean in the Lotus and Ricciardo in the Red Bull to break the run of Mercedes engine cars.
