"Before coming to Canada, Fernando Alonso held a brief Q&A on his Twitter feed. One of the revelations was that he believes the best overtaking move he has ever pulled - and he has a big selection to choose from - was around the outside of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen at Barcelona's Turn Three on lap one in 2013.

"I asked him on Thursday why he had picked that rather than, for example, going around the outside of Michael Schumacher at 130R at 207mph in Japan in 2005 or Sebastian Vettel at Copse in 2014 or the outside of Romain Grosjean at Turn Two in Valencia in 2012, all of which are right up there.

"He replied: 'Because of the level of difficulty. At 130R with Michael, the overtaking was not easy, but it looks more spectacular on TV than in the car, when you take the slipstream and you go out and you see you are past and turn. It was similar with Vettel in Silverstone last year in Turn Nine.

"OK, those overtakings give you some adrenalin but the difficulty is not as high as Turn Three in Barcelona. You need to run on the outside, guessing there are no marbles, a good level of grip and overtaking two cars, so it felt more difficult.'"

We were asking you earlier what songs best sum up F1 to you and we've had lots of great suggestions. A few more are below.

Keep them coming.

We also want your sugestions for song titles to sum up the 2015 season so far.

#bbcf1 please.

Timm Burgess: Can only be The Race by Yello.

Andrew Tyrrell: Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse. Awesome soundtrack to one of the old F1 games.

Tom Van Bael: MC Hammer, You Can't Touch This #hammertime

As it's BBC Music Day I thought I'd flag up our customary stats and facts with the above image. More chin-strokers here.

F1 bosses are to be advised that their proposal to reintroduce refuelling will have a negative effect on the sport, writes Andrew Benson.

The teams were asked by a rule-making strategy group to study how the return of refuelling would impact on racing.

Race director Charlie Whiting and teams concluded at a meeting on Thursday that it would dramatically reduce the number of on-track overtaking moves.

Whiting will report back to the strategy group, which is expected to drop the plan.

"The early morning clouds cleared through first practice and lunchtime was dry and sunny at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. But rain is headed this way, and that could mean a frantic start to second practice.

"The forecast for the weekend is dry and teams will not want to miss out on doing their important qualifying simulation runs on the super-soft tyres. Will these be brought forward a little to ensure teams can get them in?"

I promised you a picture of James Hunt with a trumpet, and I'm a man of my word.

The grainy YouTube-grab above rather limply symbolises our attempt to join in with BBC Music Day, which over the next few hours will continue with similarly crumby pics from the archives but hopefully a few diverting tales along the way.

Oh yes, and we'll also have coverage of second practice from the Canadian Grand Prix.

OK, we're shutting down for a little while now.

Andrew Benson's FP1 report is already on the site.

We'll be back with you at 18:30 BST ahead of second practice at 19:00.

In the meantime, keep your musical suggestions coming in to #bbcf1.

I'm off to find a picture of James Hunt playing a trumpet.

Simon Sneddon: Crash, by The Primitives - which is nearly 30 years old!

Tom Taylor: You Spin Me Round - Dead or Alive.

Andrew Webb: Just Drive by Alistair Griffin - I always think of F1 when I hear it.

Brought to you by the good folk in the Lotus garage.

Jenson Button: "I don't why, but I'm in a corner every time you talk to me. There's enough straights here, Tom."

So, no surprises in that session so far as the top of the order goes, with Lewis Hamilton quickest by four tenths from Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

Third, impressively, goes to the Lotus of Romain Grosjean while equally eye-catching was fourth for Nico Hulkenberg in the Force India.

Special mention too for the McLaren of Fernando Alonso, which ran trouble-free to ninth place.

John Vincent: Race for the Prize by the Flaming Lips.

Rebecca Cowley: Smash into you by Beyonce reminds me of Maldonado!

Stephen Cleaver: The original "Cars" by Gary Numan & "Bat Out Of Hell" by Meatloaf.

Ok, this session is winding down now.

Worth noting that all these times in the session have been set on the soft tyre, so there's no discrepancy on rubber. Fuel levels are of course another matter.

Still no change at the top, it's Hamilton from Rosberg from Grosjean.

Nico Hulkenberg is fourth in the Force India. Good effort from him.

Ruth: Maybe Scream If You Want To Go Faster by Geri Halliwell is apt for Red Bull/Horner?

Tom Van Bael: Speed king - Deep purple.

SnowLeopard71: Speedway by The Prodigy.

Carlos Sainz has had a tickly session in the Toro Rosso. He had a spin a little earlier and now his car has let him down at the end of the pit lane.

His mechanics sprint down to assist but a shake of the Spaniard's head indicates it's game over for now.

He's wheeled back to his garage.

Allie: Every engineers favourite song? Shut up and drive by Rihanna!

Barrie McCurdie: Obvious one is Fast Car, Tracy Chapman.

Lewis Duncan: Turbo Lover by Judas Priest suits modern F1. Also I always associate F1 with Can I Play With Madness? by Iron Maiden.

A 1:16.212 sees Lewis Hamilton put a gap of four-tenths between himself and Nico Rosberg.

That time just 0.094 off the best time set in second practice last season, his team says.

Mercedes on Twitter: , externalA quick orientation check from @LewisHamilton at T10 there... important stuff, of course ;)
