Op het circuit Gilles Villeneuve heeft Valtteri Bottas de snelste tijd gereden. De eerste oefensessie voor de GP van Canada werd grotendeels onderbroken met een rode vlag omwille van CCTV-problemen. Later tijdens het raceweekend wordt er een grote kans op regen voorspeld en dat kan uiteraard voor heel wat spektakel zorgen.
