| Hello and welcome for the first free practice session of the Canadian GP. |
| 10:08:14
| A bit cloudy today but quite warm temps. |
| 10:12:56
| Nakajima takes Rosberg place for this first part. He is on track |
| 10:15:42
| Speed now on track |
| 10:18:36
| Speed back to pits with the 2nd time |
| 10:19:10
| Takuma Sato is now in a flying lap. |
| 10:20:28
| Three drivers have set a lap time at the moment and now Trulli crosses the line to record his first timed lap. |
| 10:20:48
| Ralf Schumacher, very much under pressure at Toyota, is on track. |
| 10:21:24
| Now Schumacher moves to the top of the timesheets in the TF107. |
| 10:21:51
| Nico Rosberg is not taking part in this session as Kazuki Nakajima is running. |
| 10:23:40
| Most have completed at least an installation lap. Massa, Raikkonen and Wurz have yet to leave the pits. |
| 10:24:37
| Takuma Sato has moved second fastest only for Trulli to improve just seconds later |
| 10:26:14
| Trulli has now moved to the head of the timesheets, half a second ahead of Schumacher. |
| 10:26:48
| Jenson Button is back out in his Honda as the Toyota duo trade fastest laps. |
| 10:28:26
| Scott Speed moves third fastest in his Toro Rosso. He was impressive at Monaco, finishing the race in ninth position. |
| 10:28:55
| Kimi Raikkonen heads out in his Ferrari. |
| 10:29:28
| Raikkonen really needs a win this weekend if he is to remain a title contender as he is now 15 points adrift of Alonso and Hamilton. |
| 10:29:57
| Button has posted his first timed lap of the session. |
| 10:31:26
| With one third of the session completed, nine of the 22 drivers have set a lap time. |
| 10:32:15
| Raikkonen's first lap vaults him third fastest. Interesting to note that he did not feel the need to complete an installation lap and then pit. |
| 10:32:40
| Fisichella heads out in his Renault. |
| 10:33:26
| Raikkonen improved by well over a second to move ahead of the Toyota duo who have both pitted. |
| 10:33:39
| Now Massa is out in the second Ferrari. |
| 10:34:34
| Button has improved and returned to the Honda pit as Raikkonen improves on his own best and is now a second faster than Schumacher. |
| 10:36:15
| True to form, Massa moves second fastest on his first lap. No sign of Alonso and Hamilton. |
| 10:37:15
| Massa improves on the next lap as Ficichella gets himself up to speed. |
| 10:41:14
| Massa gains three tenths and is now just a fraction slower than Raikkonen |
| 10:42:00
| Hamilton is out in his McLaren as Massa heads for the pit lane. |
| 10:43:26
| Hamilton moves third fastest, a second down on Raikkonen. |
| 10:44:23
| Ralf Schumacher is back out in his Toyota. He is currently fifth fastest. |
| 10:44:59
| We are having a few technical issues today, so apologies for some rather garbled info at times. |
| 10:46:07
| Now Hamilton moves to the top of the timesheets. Alonso remains in the pits at the half way stage. |
| 10:46:39
| Robert Kubica is the only other driver not to have set a time so far. |
| 10:47:52
| Kubica's BMW Sauber is in the pits as he had a small fire on the F1.07. He will be hoping to get out later in the session. |
| 10:48:55
| Kovalainen is improving slowly in the Renault but has yet to break into the top ten. |
| 10:49:58
| The fastest six are all in the pits now. Button, Webber, Kovalainen and Trulli are on track. |
| 10:51:26
| Mark Webber, seventh, gets his Red Bull very close to the unforgiving wall but continues. |
| 10:53:15
| Trulli moves up two positions and is now sixth in his Toyota, just behind team-mate Schumacher. |
| 10:54:56
| Nakajima is back out in the Williams Toyota but it is surprising to see the team running the Japanese racer as it gives Rosberg a lot to do in the afternoon session. |
| 10:55:27
| Fernando Alonso has sat out nearly an hour of running, but is now heading out in his McLaren. |
| 10:56:50
| Alonso takes to the grass on his first lap - just after the bridge - but regains the circuit. |
| 10:57:49
| Heidfeld, fourth, is back out as Alonso moves ninth fastest |
| 10:58:20
| Alonso is on a much better lap this time. |
| 10:59:13
| Alonso moves second fastest and it is close again between Alonso and Hamilton. Hamilton is watching from the pit garage. |
| 11:00:05
| Alonso stays out for another lap but remains second fastest. |
| 11:01:03
| Heidfeld uses all the kerbing exiting the final chicane but does not improve on his own best. |
| 11:01:51
| Alonso finds a few thousandths of a second and moves fastest from Hamilton. Raikkonen is back out as just two tenths cover the top four |
| 11:03:02
| Alonso improves again on that lap and moves nearly three tenths clear of Hamilton who remains in the pits. |
| 11:03:46
| Raikkonen is chasing one of the Super Aguri drivers as he starts his second long stint of the session. |
| 11:04:12
| Davidson pulls out of Raikkonen's way on the back straight. |
| 11:05:10
| Liuzzi is out of his Toro Rosso in the pits. It doesn't look like he will run again in this session. |
| 11:05:40
| Alonso has pitted after setting the pace. Raikkonen and Massa are out for Ferrari. |
| 11:07:10
| Davidson improves and is now the fastest of the four Honda powered drivers. |
| 11:07:39
| Coulthard runs off track into turn one and bounces across the grass. He continues. |
| 11:08:06
| Hamilton is back out in his McLaren |
| 11:09:14
| Hamilton, like all of the runners so far, is on the harder tyre. |
| 11:10:46
| Hamilton, Raikkonen and Massa are on track but seem to be on older tyres. Sutil is out in his Spyker but is actually slower than Albers at this stage. |
| 11:13:59
| Nakajima has improved his own best time to move ahead of Alex Wurz in the sister FW29. Williams had been talking up their chances in Montreal, but so far no speed. |
| 11:14:36
| Hamilton just put in a solid lap on the worn tyres as he picked up a tenth on his own best time. |
| 11:15:51
| After his second stint, Hamilton pits. The Toyota duo of Schumacher and Trulli are back out. |
| 11:18:53
| There is not a lot of track activity at the moment. Albers is on track in his Spyker Ferrari. Alex Wurz is back out as is Button and Coulthard. |
| 11:20:47
| Coulthard takes another trip across the grass at turn one after locking his brakes. He bumps back onto the circuit and continues. |
| 11:21:11
| Raikkonen, Alonso and Fisichella on track |
| 11:21:38
| Alonso is on a fast lap. |
| 11:21:57
| Fisichella is also looking fast in the Renault. |
| 11:23:10
| Alonso loses time late in the lap as Fisichella moves fifth fastest. Kovalainen also improves in his Renault and is up to 11th. |
| 11:24:18
| Alonso took too much kerbing into the final right-left and had to get some opposite lock on to keep the McLaren out of the wall. |
| 11:24:44
| The circuit is now busy with five minutes remaining. |
| 11:25:18
| Kovalainen improves and is now seventh in his Renault. |
| 11:26:06
| One of the Williams duo has opted for super soft tyres for a final run. |
| 11:27:06
| Trulli improves and picks up a few positions. He is on the super soft tyre |
| 11:28:08
| A grassy moment for Raikkonen as he locks up his right fromt brake exiting under the bridge. He takes to the grass but continues. |
| 11:28:35
| With soft tyres, Wurz has moved tenths fastest. |
| 11:29:46
| Sato vaults seventh fastest in his Super Aguri. |
| 11:30:27
| Ralf Schumacher improves on the softs as does Mark Webber in the Red Bull. |
| 11:30:36
| The chequered flag is out. |
| 11:31:57
| So we have a McLaren one two with Alonso fastest from Hamilton. Raikkonen is third fastest ahead of Massa and Webber. |
