FP1 Session Disrupted | 2023 Canadian Grand Prix (youtu.be)

Here are the FP1 highlights from YouTube, but the session basically didn't happen. During outlaps, Gasly's alpine stopped with a driveshaft issue, prompting a red-flag for cleanup. But the session never restarted due to a problem with the closed-circuit television system at the track. It's not clear whether this system is used by race control to monitor conditions on the track, is a security system to keep fans off the track or both. But apparently it's considered a sufficiently essential safety system that the session was stopped over it.

FP2 has been extended to 90m to try to recoup the lost running time.
