Lewis Hamilton wins the Canadian Grand Prix 2017

Lewis Hamilton dominated the Canadian Grand Prix and allowed him to cut his points deficit to Sebastian Vettel from 25 to only 12 points.



The Mercedes driver controlled the race from start to finish, leading home team-mate Valtteri Bottas,
Third place went to Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo while Vettel could finish only fourth in the Ferrari, his championship lead cut by half to 12 points in the F1 table.


Vettel dropped to the back when he needed to change his front wing, damaged almost instantly by Red Bull's Max Verstappen at the start of the race but he recovered well with some aggressive over taking on a two-stop strategy during the Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal.


Fantastic recovery drive from vettel got his head down and got on with it
Apart from turn 1, Vettel's drive was stunning today. In just 8 laps after the VSC, he overtook Wehrlein, Magnussen, Kvyat, Hulkenberg (who was on significantly fresher tyres), Vandoorne, Stroll
and Grosjean whilst also keeping his tyres in well during that whole stint. The move on Perez at the end was excellent and if the race was a lap longer he would have recovered all the way to the podium. Worth remembering the floor of his car was apparently damaged too. Great drive.


With 20 laps to go Force India were asking Perez to let Ocon by on his 13-lap fresher tyres, with the
promise that positions would be reversed if his attack was unsuccessful, but the Mexican wasn’t having it and begged to be allowed to race.

Sir Patrick Stewart becomes the first knight of the realm to do a shoey at the Canadian GP 
I like it when is Daniel said I gotta do something then I can predict he will drink champagne from his shoe, just a thought but drinking out of a sweaty shoe with somebody's stinky feet in them for more than two hours Is a brave thing from Patrick Stewart. Please let Sir Patrick Stewart do all the podium interviews for the rest of the season. Thoroughly entertaining.
