Vettel wants this feeling again in his life
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel led a lights to flag victory at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. Behind him were Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. Vettel remained largely untroubled for the entire race but Bottas began to fall into Max’s clutches by the end of the race.
Meanwhile, for 4th and 5th, Daniel Ricciardo and Lewis Hamilton were locked in their own duel. Raikkonen was having his own race in 6th ahead of the rest of the pack. At the start of the race, everyone got through the first corner unscathed, then came the chaos.
Brendon Hartley tried a move round the outside of Lance Stroll but was squeezed into the wall. Stroll himself had lost control of his Williams and both drivers were out of the race.

After the safety car, things settled down for a bit, with the only other casualty being Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard, racing in his 300th GP was forced to retire with a mechanical issue.
There were issues in the end as well when the chequered flag was flown before the actual ending of the race. The flag is meant to mark the end of the race and instead of lap 70, it was flown at lap 69 due to a miscommunication caused by the FIA. The flag was waved by model Winnie Harlow, who was a Mercedes guest. As a part of the regulations, the standings till lap 68 were considered, which caused no major shake up apart from the fastest lap of the race title being given to Max Verstappen instead of Daniel Ricciardo.
Other than that, there was nothing particularly exciting. There were barely any overtakes in a circuit that has largely hosted exciting races.
The fans on Twitter weren’t too happy with the snooze fest the race was. Here are some of the best tweets that summed up the Canadian Grand Prix:
Don't blame Winnie Harlow for the #CanadianGP ending early after the chequered flag was unfurled prematurely…
But Daniel Ricciardo wasn't at all amused at being robbed of the race's fastest lap!https://t.co/VD6zDxlxe6 #SkyF1 pic.twitter.com/vGcaxFUwfv

Good idea to show the replay of the crash every lap, so it looks like there actually did happen more things. #CanadianGP pic.twitter.com/ogpAaWm90u

You let Hamiltons friend wave the flag and she fucks it up , sorry but celebs for me have no place in @f1 , it annoys me to see them all get special privileges when real fans work hard to just get a seat in the crowd #CanadianGP
— SARAH PHELAN (@sarahhph) June 10, 2018
so the model on the grid who admitted she had no interest in F1 then goes on to wave the chequered flag a lap early, can we just kick all the celebs out please? #F1 #CanadianGP pic.twitter.com/lET9a0VZqU

F1 Grand Prix race of Canada had a spectacular opening, but was a bit boring after that. Strong race by Sebastian Vettel and both drivers from Red Bull though. #CanadianGP #F1 #montrealgp

at the end of Sebastian Vettel's career you'll see a massive difference between him and Michael.

The festivities of the 2018 edition of the Formula 1 Grand Prix were great success!
The star of this year was the one that sparked the craze for the Formula in Quebec, Gilles Villeneuve (1950-1982)
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel won Sunday's race.

Re-watching the video again, if you see @BrendonHartley's onboard – as and when he made contact, his helmet banged against the Halo and immediately his hands went up on left side. Must have been been quite the impact. One for researchers. #F1 #CanadianGP | @ToroRosso @MsportExtra https://t.co/CdbVSYnSO8

Good news @BrendonHartley gets th all clear after ECG scans #F1
— Jennie Gow (@JennieGow) June 10, 2018
So apparently Brendon Hartley hit his head (helmet) against the halo and as a result had to go to hospital for a check.

Meanwhile reports say says that @BrendonHartley was taken to the hospital because he hit Halo with his head… #CanadianGP

So much for the FIA 'Risk Assessments'. IMO that was inevitable in a 'high inertia' car Impact, an area I certainly had my doubts wrt Integrity and proximity to driver helmet.🤔😞👌
You can Only make his restraint harness so Tight, Not Over-Tight.👎🏻— Stephen Houghton (@SanGrownUn1) June 10, 2018
I think if I was @BrendonHartley I would of needed to change my undies after that

An early chequered flag means the classification must be taken from lap 69 as per Sporting Regulation 43.2 #CanadianGP
— Sean Kelly (@virtualstatman) June 10, 2018
Is anyone still awake? #CanadianGP #WTF1
— Deano 🇬🇧 (@Deano_JM) June 10, 2018
. @F1 great time today but why no interview on the #CanadianGP podium where everyone can see and no delta timings on the screens during the race? hope this isn't to upsell the F1 vision …if so you're doing a disservice to fans.

Although I have voted for @Charles_Leclerc (again), #Vettel almost took a 'Grand Chelem'. Deserved #DriveroftheDay, incredibly fast pole, consistent racing today, great weekend! (you too Charles, congrats!) #CanadianGP #F1
— José Miguel Rayas Duarte (@jmrayas) June 10, 2018
Well, here we are again. 2 retirements in a row for Alonso. Yeno cos they’ve sorted all those preseason testing issues and all that. What a fucking way to go – 300th Grand Prix and retiring on lap 40. Smashing. #CanadianGP
