Kimi Antonelli sent an ominous message to the rest of the grid with an impressive 1:13.402, topping the only practice session of the Canadian Grand Prix ahead of teammate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.
The first half of the session was a stop-start afair after two red flags were brought out. A hydraulics issue for Liam Lawson saw his Racing Bulls stop and track and cause the first stoppage, while a big crash for Alex Albon brought about the second red flag in 30 minutes of session time.
An extra 20 minutes were added to the session due to those red flags, and it was Antonelli and Russell who exchanged fastest times on the hard tyres in the first 40 minutes of on-track action.
However, on the soft tyres, Antonelli found an extra gear of speed over his teammate, showing he is the man to beat once again, with Russell a tenth behind the young Italian.
