Formula 1 returned to Canada after three years affected by the covid. There was a surprise for the teams in the form of a technical directive to limit bouncing. So far, however, it looks like the FIA will only collect data and there will be no danger to the teams whose cars will be bouncing.
Even this time, the teams did not avoid technical problems. Ocon had to go to the pits due to brake problems. However, it was not unreliable, but the cause was a plastic bag in the brake channel.
Mercedes tests the modified floor. Hamilton rode a new one with a large cutout, Russell stayed at the old one for comparison.
Cunoda has deployed new powertrain components and already knows today that he will start the race from the end of the field on Sunday. Leclerc used the engine, MGU-K, MGU-H, but the penalty is avoided so far.
Verstappen set the fastest time in the first practice ahead of Sainz and Alons.
