Verstappen tops first Canada GP practice, Piastri 14th
Red Bull's Max Verstappen has led first practice for the Canadian Formula One Grand Prix while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crashed and runaway leaders McLaren made a comparatively slow start to the weekend. McLaren's British star Lando Norris was only seventh while championship-leading teammate Oscar Piastri finished 14th and received a 100 euros fine for speeding in the pitlane, as the team tested upgrades including a new front wing. Four-time world champion Verstappen, last year's winner at Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and chasing an unprecedented fourth successive Canadian victory, lapped in one minute 13.193 seconds on a bright afternoon. Williams' Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz were second and third fastest respectively, with the Briton 0.039sec slower than Verstappen and his teammate 0.082 off the pace and all using the soft tyres. Mercedes' George Russell, who started on pole in Canada last year, was fourth fastest with Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton fifth and Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar sixth. The session was halted when Leclerc hit the barriers at the second chicane with 45 minutes remaining, causing extensive damage to his Ferrari. The Monegasque still ended up 10th fastest. Canadian Lance Stroll returned to action after missing the Spanish Grand Prix due to hand and wrist pain and was 15th for Aston Martin in front of his home crowd.
