Valtteri Bottas topped a bizarre, truncated FP1 session for the CanadianGP due to a track CCTV issue ⬇️
Max Verstappen led the pack out of the pits at the start of the one-hour session and he set the first place benchmark at 1m20.154s in his RB19 which was fitted with an aerodynamic load-measuring device.
Once his car was pushed behind the barriers as FP1's first five minutes closed out, the session did not get going again as expected. It added:"This issue was only communicated when cars reached end of pit lane. So we have brought the cars back as they would have lost any useful tyre temperature." "The local organisers are working to resolve the issue and until that time we can't restart for safety reasons."The FP1 clock continued to count down per F1's rules and approaching the 40-minute mark the FIA issued another statement explanation.
The unusual end to FP1 followed problems with the event's electricity supply impacting the team's preparations for the session. In the order behind Bottas, came Aston Martin pair Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, then Sergio Perez and Verstappen.
