LIVE: Reaction as Antonelli leads chaotic free practice session in Montreal

Cody Rhodes in

F1 roars back into action with the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend from Montreal!

It is a Sprint weekend, meaning there are just 60 minutes of practice before the cars enter parc ferme for Sprint Qualifying on Friday, ahead of the Sprint and Qualifying on Saturday before Sunday’s race.

Will Kimi Antonelli be able to extend his 20-point lead at the top of the drivers’ standings, or can team-mate and defending race winner George Russell snap the Italian’s momentum and wrestle back control of the title race?

What about McLaren, Red Bull, or Ferrari? Can they have a say?

We will get our first clues in the 60 minutes of practice, which you can follow live below with our dedicated live blog, which also features live timing!
