CANADIAN GP - FREE PRACTICE #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    The third and final practice session ahead of qualifying was a Ferrari 1-2 with Sebastian Vettel posting the fastest time; a 1:12.572. Team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen finished just behind him with a 1:12.864. Hamilton, Verstappen and Bottas completed the top 5.

    Nico Hulkenberg has been finding good pace in his first season with the Renault Sport team and ended the session in 6th with a 1:13.493. Jolyon Palmer in the other Renault finished further back in 15th with a 1:14.102. Many rumours have been circulating around media that Palmer will be replaced over the Summer break. Sergey Sirotkin is said to be the top choice to take Palmer's seat.

    Another decent session for McLaren with both cars managing to get timed laps on the board without any engine failures. Alonso finished slightly higher up in 12th with a 1:13.885 while Vandoorne finished in 16th with a 1:14.228, just slightly off of Alonso's pace.
