Fernando Alonso set the fastest time in a wet third practice session ahead of Canadian Grand Prix qualifying.
The Alpine driver set the pace on the intermediate tyre with changeable conditions around the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit, where reigning champion and championship leader Max Verstappen just about kept his car out of the wall following a spin at the end of the hour.
Alonso set a time of one minute 33.836 seconds to top the time sheets ahead of the AlphaTauri of Pierre Gasly.

George Russell was seventh for Mercedes, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton struggling down in 15th place.
