Lewis Hamilton led final practice for the Canadian Grand Prix, with a strong pace ahead of Max Verstappen. The session saw dry running after a rain-affected Friday, but drivers still coped with gusty winds and low-grip on Saturday. Despite challenges, the entire session was on slicks ahead of qualifying.
