My favourite race of the season, let's hope it's a great weekend for Ferrari

Unusual start times for a grand prix weekend, but what the hell, it adds to the uniqueness of the Gilles Villeneuve circuit.

[Hornet]

Did they push the time 1 hour later than usual?

Wonder what made them do that. Last year all North/South America races are 1am for me. This year this is 2am. I'll be a zombie on Monday morning

[Crucial_Xtreme]

let's hope it's a great weekend for Ferrari

I'm hoping. It's possible Ferrari could surprise many!! Let's hope all the hard work at the factory pays dividends.

@Hornet 2pm start for the race isn't too unusual :))

1,5 hour left. Does anyone know anything about the weather know??

[Hornet]

Well, hopefully no rain

[FerrariF60]

we need people from Montreal as well as people that are there this weekend to update us of what the weather is like

the weather network says 50-60% P.O.P, but hopefully they are wrong so that we're able to test the new exhaust configuration, and if it works as expected we'll race it and hopefully WIN!!!

[Jas]

anylive stream links guys so i can watch practice?!?!? be appreciated!

[Homan13PSU]

It's nice having a race for once that sticks to my time schedule...

[Katu]

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

Can someone PM me a live stream?

Here we go. Green light FP1

Massa have the new exhaust
Alonso the last race exhaust

[FerrariF60]

rosberg's mercedes 1:16:800....those merc's are quick..

[Hornet]

Drizzling drops on Massa camera.

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

Massa looks immense in the last chicane

[medeni73]

Assuming that they were driving under same conditions new exhaust on Massas car seems to give some advantage (Massa 0.4 sec faster than Alonso)...

Assuming that they were driving under same conditions new exhaust on Massas car seems to give some advantage (Massa 0.4 sec faster than Alonso)...

so it seems that the new exhaust fitted on Massa car has quite some advantage over the one ALonso is running, assuming they both are running same amount of fuel

so it seems teh new exhaust is the better one

[Greig]

Fox on the track cool amazed MS never crashed into it though

[Hornet]

Good to see the new exhaust working then

Wonder if testing new parts will hamper Massa for the rest of the weekend.

[Jas]

why does it have that square which i cant get rid off!!!

[goferrarigo]

‏@InsideFerrari

A lot of work on the cars for the next run, change of exhaust layout for both drivers.

So i guess it will be Alonso testing the new exhaust layout next? So far so good in terms of the performance the new exhaust gives us

[FerrariF60]

vettel 1:16:100...i guess red bull arent' that slow at this track afterall
