MONTREAL, Canada - Lewis Hamilton was fastest in final practice for the 2014 Canadian Formula 1 GP on Saturday as Mercedes set its sights on a seventh straight pole start.
The Briton, a three-times winner on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, lapped the island track in 1min15.610 on a sunny morning on the St. Lawrence River.
Brazilian Felipe Massa was second quickest for Mercedes-powered Williams to split the two works team cars with F1 championship leader Nico Rosberg clocking the third-best effort.
ALONSO FOURTH
Mercedes, who have started every race from pole this season and also won them all with the last five ending in one-two formation, again looked dominant with Hamilton 0.476 faster than Massa.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, winner in Canada in 2006, was fourth-fastest while Daniel Ricciardo put Red Bull fifth on the time sheet.
The Australian's team mate and quadruple Drivers' champion Sebastian Vettel, 2013 winner here, was only 10th.
The session was briefly red-flagged after Mexican Esteban Gutierrez spun his Sauber into the wall while several other drivers had trouble on a slippery track.
