Alonso tops the times in FP1 at Canada
F1 Grand Prix, GP Canada, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
Fernando Alonso set the pace in the first practice session of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. Lewis Hamilton was a close second and looked set to improve the Spaniard's time, but a big lockup towards the end of his lap made him abandon that effort.
Third fastest was Nico Rosberg, also very much on the pace and just 0.146s off the pace setting Ferrari F14T.
The gap to fourth was bigger with Vettel 7 tenths slower than Rosberg.
