Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso topped a pretty hairy second practice session Friday for Sunday’s 42nd Canadian Grand Prix.
Alonso navigated Circuit Gilles Villeneuve with a quick lap of 1:15.107 to edge defending world champion Sebastian Vettel by .369 seconds. Third-quick was Ferrari’s Felipe Massa, .494 seconds behind the pace-setting Alonso.
It was a messy session with car parts strewn about from a few mishaps. Beating their cars into various walls were Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber, Virgin’s Jerome D’Ambrosio and Force India’s Adrian Sutil. McLaren-Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, winner here twice in the past three years, suffered a tire puncture, likely from running over debris from D’Ambrosio’s wreck.
One more F1 practice session is to come Saturday before afternoon qualifying for Sunday’s race.
Here’s the statistical rundown of today’s second practice.
• Sauber’s Sergio Pérez will not be racing this weekend. Victim of a hard crash last race in Monaco, from which he suffered a mild concussion, Pérez reported to his team that he felt ill after the morning practice. He’ll be replaced in the cockpit by Pedro de la Rosa.

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.
