Lando Norris was fastest from Carlos Sainz after a huge hailstorm caused limited running in first practice at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.
The final six minutes of the session saw the drivers switch to dry tyres as the track quickly dried out during practice, so most drivers posted their best lap at end of practice. Norris went 0.328s quicker than Carlos Sainz, with Monaco race-winner Charles Leclerc another half a second back in third.
The session was effectively red flagged for the opening 21 minutes of the session as the pit lane was closed, so the marshals could clear the standing water. Alpine's Jack Doohan drove Esteban Ocon's car in first practice but didn't complete a flying lap as the team elected to save car and tyre mileage. Doohan is a candidate to take over Ocon's seat for 2025 after the Frenchman confirmed earlier this week that he will leave Alpine at the end of this year.
