The second free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix is underway, but for Max Verstappen, it has not been ideal. The Dutchman complained about 'downshifts', which he says are a joke. With 90 minutes in the second free practice, Verstappen has plenty of time to work on that. You can follow FP2 in Canada with GPblog's liveblog.
