Final practice – Vettel takes control in Canada

Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso at one stage shared the fastest time of 1m 13.919s in Saturday morning’s final practice session at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Montreal’s Ile Notre Dame. But, as it so often has been this season, it was Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull who had the last laugh

The reigning world champion clipped down to 1m 13.381s to end the hour-long session 0.320s ahead of Alonso, who had improved his time to 1m 13.701s. Rosberg remained third after failing to go faster, while Felipe Massa’s strong weekend form for Ferrari continued with 1m 13.956s
