F1 2019 Canadian Grand Prix Highlights

June 10, 2019

It’s lights out in Canada as the official F1 2019 Canadian Grand Prix took place just a short while ago with over 300,000 in attendance at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, and what a controversial race it was. With Sebastian Vettel taking pole position in the qualifying stages, the race looked to finally have an interesting line-up instead of Mercedes at 1 & 2 like we’ve seen for the rest of the season thus far.

Let’s get straight to the main incident of the race, that one fateful corner. While Vettel held his ground, he came unstuck on lap 48 going wide and causing what the race stewards have described as an unsafe re-entry onto the track with Lewis Hamilton on his tail. Shortly after, Vettel was given a 5 second penalty and with just a few laps to go all Hamilton had to do was stay close behind him to claim yet another Grand Prix victory.

The race featured other controversies including Kevin Magnussen saying, “This is the worst experience I’ve ever had in any race-car ever.” Magnussen finished 17th ahead of Robert Kubica and two drivers that did not finish.

Valtteri Bottas had his own battle throughout the race after polling 5th, and ended up getting the fastest lap time of the race with 1:13:078 on the second last lap to finish 4th behind the two Ferraris and his Mercedes team mate.
