Rain in Montreal rendered the first hour of practice for the Canadian Grand Prix irrelevant, and it was only when the Toyota pair of Timo Glock and Jarno Trulli put on dry tyres and went four seconds quicker than the pack that the floodgates opened.
The last quarter hour saw everyone on track, and it was Felipe Massa who once again showed impressive pace by leading the field with a fastest lap of 1:17.553.
Behind him came Robert Kubica, the on-form Pole putting in a later run to sneak second place, quarter of a second slower than Massa but a similar time ahead of Heikki Kovalainen in the McLaren and Nick Heidfeld, the German in the second BMW enduring a more positive session than of late.
Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton shaded those two, the World Champion opting not to finish a lap that may well have put him top and Hamilton the only man not to get more than ten laps in over the 90 minutes, with the Red Bull pair of Mark Webber and David Coulthard close together, but three tenths slower than Hamilton.
The final top ten runners were Kazuki Nakajima for Williams and Fernando Alonso in the Renault.
