Saturday First Free Practice - Canadian GP

Underachieving Mika Hakkinen displayed his dominance in Canada after he topped the times in the first practice session in Montreal outpacing teammate David Coulthard.

Hakkinen was just five hundredths of a second faster than the Scot as they both outpaced Ferrari duo Michael Schumacher in third and Rubens Barrichello in fourth.

Williams driver Ralf Schumacher was fifth fastest although teammate Juan Pablo Montoya suffered a disappointing session finishing 17th and suffered engine problems.

Eddie Irvine continued to impress at Montreal when he finished sixth and Jaguar return to form continued as Pedro de la Rosa ended the session in eight.

Jacques Villeneuve failed to post a competitive time completing only one lap before having trouble with his British American Racing car.
