George Russell: Leads Second Canada Practice

Russell ended Friday's running at the Canadian Grand Prix on top as he went fastest in second practice, the Mercedes driver getting the better of Lando Norris and Kimi Antonelli in another action-packed hour, Formula1.com reports.

Analysis:

Another unusual practice would mark Friday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Charles Leclerc would not participate due to his earlier FP1 crash and that would seem to set the tone for a very tricky session. Just 5 minutes in Lance Stroll would crash. The Sliver Arrows would rise to the top with Russell turning a lap of 1:12.123 and his teammate, Kimi Antonelli, coming in P3 in the session at just two-tenths back. Russell looks like a podium threat for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.
