Canada

The ever-opinionated Craig Woollard gives his view on the controversial outcome of the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix, in which Sebastian Vettel was denied victory after being awarded a penalty late in the race.

The Canadian GP was just amazing, easily the best race of the season so far. While the battle for the lead was entirely non-existent, battles for almost every other position more than made up for it.

The Canadian GP is one of my favourite tracks on the calendar, great fun, great track, great race. Even when there is no race going on, like the 2011 Canadian GP, things are still somehow entertaining.

Canada! The seventh race this season and surprisingly the start of the first double header, with the Canadian GP this weekend and European GP next.

The Canadian GP wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped it would be, but it wasn’t as bad as I first thought.

O Canada! Almost time for the Canadian GP at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, usually a good race.

Late stats again! Sorry for that, but the Canadian GP was slightly insane and for the first time this season, Mercedes did not win the race.

I should really have written this yesterday, but got distracted by the football! Anyway, it’s the Canadian GP weekend and the 35th F1 race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

I’ll be honest, the Canadian GP was incredibly boring. Bottas impressed in the wet qualifying session with 3rd, the first time Williams have been into Q3 this season. The race was won from pole by Sebastian Vettel by a 14 second gap, which could have been well over 20 seconds if he didn’t make a mistake towards the end of the race and if he wasn’t held up while lapping cars.

This is the 44th Canadian GP and the 34th at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. 14 or 42.42% have been won from pole position, slightly higher than the average of 38.70% of the races on the 2013 calendar. The first championship race in Canada was held at Mosport Park in 1967 and won by Sir Jack Brabham.
