Sebastian Vettel set the second fastest time in the opening free practice session for the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday, the Ferrari driver setting a best time of 1:14.007, running the Ultrasoft tyres.
During the first free practice session on the Canadian track, Scuderia Ferrari concentrated on comparative aero tests, as well as some long runs at the end of the session.
N the second session, Sebastian was third fastest overall after using two sets of Supersoft and Ultrasoft tyres.
Towards the end of today's last session, Scuderia Ferrari concentrated on running in race trim.
At the end of the first day, Sebastian was not overly happy, but saw a substantial improvement over the course of the day…
“Today I was fighting with the car at the beginning, but in the end I understood what we needed and what we had to do,” he explained. “Tomorrow should be a better day. It was an interesting session."
"The track was slippery and very dirty this morning. We try to do our best, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But in the end we found the right direction. So we'll see what tomorrow brings, but I am confident it will be better. We focus on what we have to do. We could have had a better session today, but hopefully we'll have it tomorrow”.
