Practice One - Mercedes lead, Vettel crashes out

Nico Rosberg proved correct Jenson Button's pre-event prediction that Mercedes would be very strong here in Montreal, by dominating Friday morning's opening practice session for Sunday's Canadian round.

Button suggested that Mercedes gain up to 20 km/h from their DRS rear wing, whereas most others gain only 12 km/h. Rosberg took control of the session in the final third of the 90 minutes, lapping in 1m 16.002s to depose pacesetter Fernando Alonso's Ferrari, then improved that to 1m 15.591s.
