Max Verstappen topped an unusual first practice session at the Canadian Grand Prix as McLaren were left off the pace after appearing to use the session to experiment.
Verstappen's time of 1:13.193 saw him finish ahead of Williams duo Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz in a session interrupted by an early crash for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, which appears to have limited the Monegasque to less than 15 minutes of track time for the day.
McLaren have dominated the opening nine rounds of the season and rarely been outside of the top positions during any session, but world championship leader Oscar Piastri was only 14th, with team-mate Lando Norris seventh on this occasion.
