Check out the results from first practice at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve ahead of the 2024 F1 Canadian Grand Prix!
Lando Norris from McLaren set the fastest time in the delayed and red-flagged Free Practice 1 of the Canadian Grand Prix. Due to heavy rain before FP1, cars were unable to hit the track 22 minutes after the scheduled start time of 1330 local time, but the track dried up quickly for drivers to set flying laps using soft Pirelli tires. Norris clocked a 1:24.435 lap time to move ahead of Sainz, Leclerc, Hamilton, and Verstappen in the late laps, but the times were not fully representative and were nearly six seconds slower than the expected pole time. Jack Doohan, filling in for Esteban Ocon at Alpine, only completed three laps and didn’t set a time due to the conditions and a red-flag incident involving Zhou Guanyu. The session was briefly suspended after Zhou Guanyu hit a barrier at Turn 5 for Stake. For detailed results, check out the full Free Practice 1 results for the Canadian Grand Prix.
