Lewis Hamilton won a nail biting Canadian Grand Prix to make it seven winners in seven races and to take the lead of the drivers’ championship.
The McLaren driver looked to have lost out on strategy, but as the race progressed it came back toward him and he regained the lead from Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso with ten laps to go.
Alonso, who opted not to stop a second time, rapidly dropped back down the grid to lose out to Romain Grosjean in second, Sergio Perez in third and Vettel in fourth.
Nico Rosberg, Mark Webber, Kimi Raikkonen, Kamui Kobayashi and Felipe Massa completed the top ten.
