F1 Canadian GP 2024 LIVE: Practice updates and times in Montreal

Thank you for following our coverage of the practice – not the most entertaining day of action but it means it’s hard to read ahead of tomorrow!

We’re back for qualifying tomorrow at 9pm (BST) – until then, good night!

Lando Norris says he is more excited than ever before when he gets behind the wheel knowing he is now fighting for wins.

The 24-year-old earned his maiden Formula One victory at the Miami Grand Prix and has secured three other podiums in an impressive start to the season for McLaren.

Norris is now expected to challenge for the podium on a regular basis and admits that expectation brings an excitement.

“I am more buoyed than ever. Still relaxed, maybe I don’t look it at times!” Norris said ahead of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

“When I am in the car I’m more excited because that is when you are feeling what the potential is.”

The Aston Martin driver fastest with a 1:15:810, with George Russell four-tenths off and Lance Stroll six-tenths off his team-mate in third!

4-10: Leclerc, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Hamilton, Tsunoda, Albon, Perez

Not too sure how much we can learn from today’s action! On and off with the weather, varying times and run-plans… makes it very interesting ahead of qualifying tomorrow!

Final few laps now of what, again, is a difficult session to read given the weather…

One thing is for sure: Max Verstappen is not coming out of the pits. His issue has rendered his session redundant.

Other than Verstappen’s issue, all the cars are out doing their long runs at the moment – but it’s spitting rain so it’s on intermediates at the moment!

So top-10 is; Alonso, Russell, Stroll, Leclerc, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Hamilton, Tsunoda, Albon, Perez

Verstappen down in P18 with his issue!

Direct from camp Red Bull: “We have an ERS fault on car 1 and we are investigating.”

Given the lack of running earlier, all the drivers very keen to make an impact this afternoon – and that’s resulting in a lot of traffic!

Ricciardo: “I mean, no one is getting out of the way, no one!”

At the top of the leaderboard at halfway, Fernando Alonso is quickest 1:15:810, four-tenths quicker than George Russell.

3-10: Stroll, Leclerc, Ricciardo, Magnussen, Hamilton, Tsunoda, Albon, Perez.

All 20 drivers now in the pits.

The home favourite quickest so far, with all but four cars out on track, with team-mate Fernando Alonso in second too!

3-10: Hamilton, Albon, Magnussen, Ricciardo, Gasly, Russell, Piastri, Ocon

Quite a few have gone off at the hairpin too!
