Raikkonen to the fore

Kimi Raikkonen set the pace in the final practice session before qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix. The Finn set the fastest time of the session in the final moments of the action, lapping four-tenths faster than Renault's Fernando Alonso and Juan Pablo Montoya with Giancarlo Fisichella fourth in the second Renault. Takuma Sato was next up ahead of Ralf Schumacher, Jenson Button and Michael Schumacher, the Ferrari star clearly in trouble with his tyres as he had a spin and several incidents in the session. The top 10 was completed by the two Williams of Nick Heidfeld and Mark Webber.

Jarno Trulli was 13th having had some technical problems while local hero Jacques Villeneuve ended up 15th in his Sauber.
