4:36 p.m.: Things will get really serious here in two hours, then the third training session. And because the teams were robbed of the first practice run, you can be sure that the drivers will drive decent laps.
2:57 p.m.: The fans want nothing more than to see a team other than Red Bull at the top. Verstappen and Perez are dominating at will this season. Suddenly everyone is hoping for Mercedes – which was just as unpopular with the broad mass of fans until a few years ago because of its own dominance.
12:41 p.m.: There is still a lot going on at Red Bull this weekend. “The backlog is a bit confusing,” Helmut Marko marvels in an interview with ‘ServusTV’. “The track became significantly faster towards the end. But we did a long run there. Nevertheless, the car is too restless. We have a lot to do.”
11.40 a.m.: At 6:30 p.m., the 3rd free practice session continues today. Due to the time difference, everything will take place a little later than usual.
10.11 a.m.: Rain is reported again for Saturday afternoon. So qualifying could be interesting. No rain is announced for Sunday, but there is still a chance.
8:35 a.m.: The best time on Friday was driven by the Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell shared first and second place. Max Verstappen was a little behind in sixth place. However, that doesn’t have to mean anything.
7:49 a.m.: After all the technical problems and the mini-practice, the second free practice lasted 90 minutes. But not everyone went smoothly: Nico Hülkenberg had to park his car with engine damage, Esteban Ocon also reported technical problems. And then the rain came towards the end.
7.45 a.m.: Friday at the Canadian GP descended into great chaos. Due to a technical defect, the first free practice session lasted just four minutes (read more here!). And the second free practice session didn’t go smoothly either.
07:22: Max Verstappen arrives as the big favourite. The Dutchman is the clear leader in the overall standings and has recently won three races in a row.
