Alonso leads Gasly and Vettel in very wet conditions in the final practice at the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix.

Vettel on the intermediate tyres went faster than Alonso with team-mate Stroll in third position. With three minutes to go, Verstappen suffered the same fate as the Danish driver at Turn 2. In the wet conditions, the teams were given an extra set of intermediate tyres. Pierre Gasly finished in second position, just 0.053 seconds slower than the Spanish driver. With fourty-five minutes to go, Sebastian Vettel was on top of the time charts with a lap time of 1m39.041s. Yuki Tsunoda went 0.032 seconds faster than Vettel to take the top spot. The Scuderia Ferrari driver will be joined by Yuki Tsunoda at the back of the grid due to an engine change.

Fernando Alonso topped the final practice of the Canadian Grand Prix as the drivers prepared for a wet qualifying session.

Minutes later and Verstappen produced a carbon copy of Magnussen’s exit but was also able to get it back on the track. Late in the session, Kevin Magnussen left the track near Turn 3 but was able to reverse it back out of the grass and safely rejoin the track. Alonso was the first to venture out on the intermediate tyres but, despite struggling for grip, he set the fastest time of the session with 14 minutes remaining. There was no rush to get out on the track with plenty of the drivers preferring to stay warm inside the garage. The two Red Bulls spent little time on the track with Max Verstappen not appearing until beyond the halfway mark. Fernando Alonso topped the final practice of the Canadian Grand Prix as the drivers prepared for a wet qualifying session.

Leclerc starting at the back of the grid means Canada is a race of damage limitations for Ferrari.

As it was, he was able to safely get his Red Bull back to the garage. Meanwhile, the wet conditions in Saturday’s free practice are not expected to be replicated during Sunday’s race. But the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at least offers Leclerc a chance here. Leclerc’s recent results have slumped after an impressive start to the season where he won two of the first three grands prix. “It is the fourth of the season (only three are permitted), therefore Charles takes a further grid penalty.” He was already facing a 10-place grid penalty after an engine component change in the week.

Charles Leclerc will start from the back of the grid in Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix after electing to take new power unit components.

So in this, we find a confidence,” he told Autosport. While Leclerc has been disappointed with the recent slump in form, he says that the promising pace of the car – which has been fastest overall recently over a single lap – gives him encouragement for the future. The new internal combustion engine, turbo, MGU-H, MGU-K is enough to mean that Leclerc will start from the back row of the grid alongside AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda, who also has a new engine fitted.

Verstappen takes pole position in treacherous conditions ahead of Alonso and Sainz in the qualification session at the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix.

Alonso topped the final free practice and made his good form count in the qualification session. Albon was able to reverse and rejoin the track.

But it was Alonso who was entertaining the crowd, the two-time champion power sliding past the Wall of Champions on his final effort to claim P2 – Alonso surprisingly the fastest Spaniard, as he pipped his protégé Carlos Sainz, who took third. 299s on his final lap to take his 15th career pole. Completing the top three was the Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, whose team mate Charles Leclerc is set to start P19 after taking on new power unit elements. “I can’t see a lot ahead of me,” Hamilton retorted.

Our aim will be to progress and score good points with both cars." Unfortunately, we lost Lando early in Q2 with a power unit issue that prevented him setting a time – we are still investigating the cause. It’s a lot of laps, a track you can overtake on, and race on, so we’ll do our best to try to gain some positions and at least get into the points." So I didn’t get a shot at trying to get into Q3, which is frustrating – but we’ll try to fix the problem and go into tomorrow. Weirdly, I felt a bit more competitive in the wetter conditions, and then as it dried, trying to use the rears, we struggled maybe a little bit more to lean on the tyre. There’s maybe a few cars out of position as well, and you never know how that could sway the race.

The Red Bull driver made light of the changeable weather to beat Fernando Alonso in qualifying.

“Let’s see, we will attack Max on the first corner! Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc will start 19th after replacing several parts of his power unit while Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez crashed out in the second qualifying session and is down in 13th as a result. The Red Bull driver was untouchable in the rain as mistakes and mechanical issues rained on the parade of his closest challengers.

Sergio Perez apologised for the crash which saw him qualify a lowly 13th for the Canadian Grand Prix, as Sky Sports F1 expert Danica Patrick questioned ...

"We were there all the time when it mattered and when the track was drying out a little bit, that helped our car performance. There's a lot riding on this point of the season and keeping his momentum going." "You don't always need to start on pole position to win races. They were on the cold side and I had a lock-up into turn 10 the lap before and flat-spotted them. Going into turn three I became just a passenger as soon as I touched the brake. I let them down today unfortunately," the Mexican told Sky Sports.

Starting third is Carlos Sainz, who will be disappointed to not be on the front row after his rivals took themselves out of contention. At this track you need to have rhythm, but I feel like this car works at a completely different beat! P4 has never felt so good if I'm being honest - maybe in my first year of racing in 2007, this feels a bit like that. Max Verstappen put his Red Bull on pole in a wet qualifying session around Montreal yesterday.

If his run of finishing every race in the top five this season is going to continue, he’s going to have to make some moves. It is quite remarkable to think, but such have been Mercedes’ struggles so far this season that Lewis Hamilton’s fourth place in qualifying is his best performance of the year. And that might involve another classic Alonso vs Hamilton battle when there is a trophy on the line. The fallout from Charles Leclerc’s retirement in Baku continues, with the Ferrari driver losing the power unit that failed and needing to take a number of new components. His wait for such a starting position came to an end with a stunning qualifying performance in Canada, and he’s got high hopes for the opening lap of the race, too. Time for the Monegasque to deliver a charge through the field…
