Mark Webber topped a shortened final practice session for the Candian Grand Prix, putting his Red Bull top during the damp session.
Barrier repairs took priority following a crash during a support race prior to the start of FP3. The repairs took 30 minutes which meant the session was halved and saw some frantic action.
Webber’s best lap came at the very end as the checkered flag fell and the track was at its driest. Adrian Sutil was second, Lewis Hamilton third and Fernando Alonso fourth.
The top ten drivers all led at some point, but a flurry of flying laps after the checkered flag fell saw the P1 spot change numerous times.
There were no major incidents other than a spin by Daniel Ricciardo and an off for both Pastor Maldonado and Sergio Perez.
