    Not many cars out on the track at the moment. The Ferraris are out there, as is the Williams of Valtteri Bottas.

    Meanwhile, an improvement from Nico Rosberg seems him nip into P2. He does a 1:15.086 to put him within three tenths of a second of Lewis Hamilton.

    More final chicane shenanigans as Fernando Alonso slows right down with Lewis Hamilton behind him and the Briton has to react quickly to avoid hitting the McLaren.

    "A bit dangerous from Fernando there," says Hamilton.

    Drivers look to be testing the limits of the final chicane, braking as late as possible to see just how late they can leave it. As a result, we've seen a fair few skip over it, including Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas.

    Nico Rosberg, meanwhile, is on the ultra soft - the softest compound of tyre - but he can only go third quickest with his latest effort with 1:15.557. Interestingly that it is slower than Max Verstappen's time. The young Dutchman is currently second quickest, but set his time on the harder soft tyres.

    A monster of a lap from Lewis Hamilton! He goes quickest on those super softs with 1:14.980 and the mind games begin. He's been able to sit about in the garage, pop out, slam down a real thronker of a lap as if to say 'over to you, Nico'.

    We know of some of the big-names that have hit the Wall of Champions - Michael Schumacher, pictured below, obviously being one.

    A good question from Jack Nicholls on commentary just now, who is the most obscure driver to have hit the wall?

    The most famous feature of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is the 'Wall of Champions', where many a big name has crashed. 

    Overshoot the exit of the final chicane, and you'll soon find yourself skipping over the kerb and into, well... the wall.

    Kevin Magnussen skips across the penultimate chicane in the Renault. That's the second time he's gone off track in this session, but no major drama on both occasions. 

    Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton emerges on a set of super softs. First timed run coming up?

    Carlos Sainz leaps into third as he does a 1:16.935 on a set of super softs. Romain Grosjean has decided to bring the ultra softs out to play for the first time in Canada. He's currently seventh fastest.

    No sign of this risk-loving rodent yet. 

    The humble groundhog loves to get in amongst the action at the Canadian Grand Prix, having regularly played chicken with the cars in recent years.

    Ferrari have in Montreal with a new turbocharger which they hope will bring them that bit closer to Mercedes. Kimi Raikkonen was not exactly effusive about it, saying: "This is a step forward and how much time will tell. It is not something magic, it is a normal work in progress for us."

    Of more concern to Ferrari will be to try to finally have a weekend when they get the best from their car - something has gone wrong for them at every race this year, whether it be strategy errors, collisions, mistakes, or the now commonplace problems getting the tyres into the right operating window. 

    The difficulty for them is, while it is easy to say this latter has prevented them showing the true pace of the car, if you cannot sort your tyres out properly and that is a consistent problem, then that by definition becomes the true pace of the car.

    Ferrari cars first and third on the timesheet at the moment, with Kimi Raikkonen P1 and Sebastian Vettel P3. 

    Is this a big weekend for them? They were touted as Mercedes' biggest challengers earlier this season, but we've not really seen anything of that yet.

    Things may not have panned out how Daniel Ricciardo would have liked in the last two races, but there's no denying that Red Bull are giving Mercedes cause for concern. 

    If not for that botched pit stop in Monaco, they would almost certainly have arrived in Canada on the back of two successive wins.

    Can they beat Mercedes in Canada? Let us know your thoughts via #bbcf1, external
