Why does a Formula One car sound so angry on a glorious, sunny day in Montreal?
The F1 cars are on the track at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, in their first of two 90-minute practice sessions that will probably mean nothing tomorrow when they’re back on what’s expected to be a wet track for qualifying.
Updates to come during the day, which includes the presence of support-race cars in F-1600, Ferrari Challenge, Historic Grand Prix and Porsche IMSA GT3 Cup series.

Defending world champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull was the fastest in this morning’s third and final practice, in advance of this afternoon’s qualifying for Sunday’s 42nd Canadian Grand Prix.
Vettel had a fast lap of 1:13.381, .320 quicker than Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, who had yesterday’s best time of 1:15.107 after three hours of free practice.
Saturday’s session was notable for the no-show of Red Bull’s Mark Webber, who never left the garage when troubled by his kinetic energy recovery system (KERS).
The only incident of note, beyond a few drivers running through grassy areas when they missed turns, came with time having run out on the hour-long session, Sauber’s Pedro de la Rosa impacting a wall when he lost the back end of the car he’s driving in relief of ailing Sergio Pérez. De la Rosa was uninjured, leaving his engineers with a frantic bit of work before the 1 p.m. qualifying session.
