Canadian GP: Free Practice 1 - Re-Cap & Results

Good morning everyone, it's time for a re-cap of Free Practice 1. My sincere apologies for anyone following me on twitter yesterday for commentary coverage. We were unable to bring you much due to technical issues. We're trying to have it fixed by Free Practice 3 in about 4 and a half hours. Hopefully, it will be ok!

So, let's start with P1, luckily no major rain fall and the drivers had a nice hour and a half to get some good times in. Only a few incidents, with Nico Hulkenberg spinning out at the chicane and Romain Grosjean heading to the Force India pit crew on accident, instead of Lotus. 

Alexander Rossi made an appearance, driving for Kamui Kobayashi. Rossi is from America and currently races in GP2, for those unfamiliar with the name. Rossi hopes to have a future in F1 sometime in the next year or so. 

It was Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari, who topped this session, with the Mercedes close behind, rounding up the top 3. 

So, on to the times:

1. Fernando Alonso - 1:17.238 / Ferrari

2. Lewis Hamilton - 1:17.254 / Mercedes

3. Nico Rosberg - 1:17.384 / Mercedes
