Red Bull’s Mark Webber claimed the fastest time in the dying minutes of Saturday morning’s final practice session in Canada, edging out Force India’s Adrian Sutil by 0.353s.
The hour-long session was delayed half an hour after an accident in the preceding Ferrari 458 support race, and began in damp conditions which improved steadily to the point where there was a late rush on to slicks which triggered machine-gun-fire lap times in the last 10 minutes.
It was Webber who got the best out of the changing situation, with a lap in 1m 17.895s, with Sutil on 1m 18.248s. Lewis Hamilton’s weekend continued to go well as he was much happier with his Mercedes’ form under braking, and he took the third-fastest time in 1m 18.732s ahead of Friday afternoon pacesetter Fernando Alonso, who took his Ferrari round in 1m 18.977s.
