Raikkonen’s Ferrari sets pace in Canadian GP practice, Stroll 17th
MONTREAL — If Lance Stroll felt any jitters during his first laps around Circuit Gilles Villeneuve they didn’t show on the 18-year-old Formula One rookie.
Stroll, a Montreal native driving for the Williams team, posted the 17th best time in a pair of 90-minute practice sessions on Friday that were dominated by the leading Ferrari and Mercedes AMG teams.
“There are always a bit of nerves but not on Friday, just on Saturday (in qualifying) and Sunday (in the race),” said Stroll. “But it’s positive nerves.
“Those are the nerves that get me going, so it’s good.”
