F1 | LIVE Commentary: FP3 kicks off in Canada with Charles Leclerc back on track in Montreal. FP3 kicks off at the Canadian GP with Charles Leclerc back on track after Friday’s crash.

FP3 of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix is underway, and Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari is back on track: follow the LIVE commentary of FP3. After the first two Friday sessions, Montreal seems to have a potential (and new) favourite. Max Verstappen, extremely fast both over a single lap and in race trim, could take advantage of the numerous difficulties McLaren is facing in finding the right balance.

What was initially expected to be just a transitional round before the European core of the season now risks becoming something far more significant. Frédéric Vasseur’s outburst, clearly critical of the Italian media, represents a potential breaking point between the Frenchman and the Prancing Horse. Charles Leclerc’s crash, which sent him into the wall during FP1 (and kept him out of FP2), has further slowed down Maranello’s progress.
