F1 2017 - Canadian GP


The Silver Arrows are roaring back alive at the Canadian Grand Prix of this season's Formula 1 championship and as demonstrated by Mercedes-AMG's 1-2 finish by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, the competition just keeps heating up as Hamilton struggles to play catch up against Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in the standings or else he'll snag last year's title from Hamilton.

Behind the post-race heat for Hamilton comes a first-lap disaster as Carlos Sainz's car was crippled by Romain Grosjean, causing him to enter the corner. Even Felipe Massa has fallen victim to Sainz's downfall in the first lap. Both drivers survived the crash. After some first lap disaster, there are some who couldn't make it to the podium such as McLaren-Honda's Fernando Alonso whose care suffered from engine failure.

Post-race results, Vettel still leads Hamilton by 12 points while Mercedes retaken the constructor championship lead with 8 points ahead from Ferrari.

The next race will be at Azerbaijan on the 25th of June.
