After the Thursday disaster, the Ferrari del Monegasco closes 78 thousandths from Lando. At 10pm the qualifications
McLaren is back in front of everyone. Lando Norris is the fastest in third free practice in Canada with a time of 1’11 “799. It is also the best chronometric reference considering all the sessions played during this weekend on the Montreal track. And it is a strong signal, given that yesterday the British team had never commanded. Ferrari smiles: great second place for Charles Leclerc, just 78 thousands of them, while Lewis Hamilton closes fourth (+0.251). Complicated.

The session opens with a doubt: better to work in a qualifying perspective with the softer compound or focus on the average one? The first ring is signed by Alonso with a soft, but in the middle of the shift there are three pilots with “medium” tires in Top 5. Bene well the Ferrari: Leclerc, very fast and constant, leads to the command, while Hamilton is fourth. High and low in the McLaren house. If Norris, second after 30 minutes, appears rather solid, always mounting the average mix, Plastri makes a serious mistake. The Australian hit the wall leaving the final chicane: drilling and slight damage to the right rear suspension. The accident forces the commissioners to exhibit the red flag that interrupts the session for a short time.

In the second part of the FP3s Russell and Verstappen stand out, the protagonists of the now famous accident in Barcelona. Both date back to the ranking using the red tires. The Mercedes pilot stands out, capable of improving the chronometric reference signed yesterday. The soft compound also convinces the rivals, which abandon the average in the final minutes of the round. So the challenge for the best time lights up. Norris places the paw. The British pilot, however, risks losing the primacy right in the last moments of the FP3s, when Leclerc signs the best second part. Ferrari’s Monegasque stops at 78 thousandths, but it seems in excellent shape. Confirmations are expected in qualifying.
