McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton beat Red Bull’s Mark Webber to set the pace in final practice before qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday.
The Englishman set a time of one minute 16.058 seconds in a hectic final few minutes to beat Webber by 0.282secs despite brushing the wall at Turn Four.
Fernando Alonso, who did not complete a clean lap on the faster, softer tyres, was third fastest.
Mercedes’s Michael Schumacher was fourth from Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel.
Robert Kubica of Renault was sixth ahead of Force India’s Adran Sutil, Hamilton’s team-mate Jenson Button, the second Force India of Vitantonio Liuzzi and Vitaly Petrov’s Renault. BBC Sport
Massa ended the morning 12th on 1m 17.231s, behind Nico Hulkenberg’s Williams on 1m 17.121s and just ahead of Jaime Alguersuari’s Toro Rosso on 1m 17.331s.

Rubens Barrichello lapped his Williams in 1m 17.789s for 17th, while Nico Rosberg was kept in the garage by mechanical problems on his Mercedes and literally had time for one flying lap right at the end – 1m 17.979s – which left him 18th.
Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen were again the fastest of the new team runners with 1m 19.013s and 1m 19.447s respectively for Lotus, but Virgin had a much better handle on things today and got Timo Glock within striking distance on 1m 19.536s.
Team mate di Grassi managed 1m 19.844s before his spin. Bruno Senna was 23rd on 1m 20.325s, but HRT team mate Karun Chandhok didn’t clock a time after stopping early in the session with technical problems. Formula 1
