F1 Canadian Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel

Red Bull's Max Verstappen led the way in Friday practice for the Canadian GP, topping both FP1 and FP2.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc ended up less than a tenth behind the championship leader in the afternoon session, but is carrying a 10-place grid penalty this weekend after taking a third control electronics unit on his power unit following his DNF in Azerbaijan.

Neither of the two Mercedes cars featured near the front, with George Russell ending up up seventh and Hamilton 13th-quickest - with the latter describing the team's set-up experiments as a "disaster".
