Lewis Hamilton pipped Mercedes F1 teammate George Russell to the fastest time in an extended second practice at the CanadianGP. Report from FP2 ⤵️
Reigning world champion Max Verstappen was over four tenths adrift of his former title rival in the dominant Red Bull RB19 he has used to win five of the seven races so far this year.
Valtteri Bottas, who was fastest in the rather meaningless and curtailed FP1, put his Alfa Romeo seventh, ahead of the other Red Bull of Sergio Perez. Lance Stroll and Pierre Gasly completed the rest of the top-10 for Aston Martin and Alpine respectively. FP2 was interrupted by two red flag periods, the first of which was caused when Nico Hulkenberg suffered a smoky engine failure in his Haas.Minutes after the session resumed and the red flags were flying once more when Esteban Ocon stopped as a precaution with a suspected water leak in his Alpine.
All the drivers managed to complete their runs before a heavy downpour hit in the closing stages of the session.
