Lewis Hamilton achieved his fifth Hungarian Grand Prix victory and becomes the new leader of the Formula 1 world championship.

From second on the grid behind his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, Hamilton took the race lead into the first corner and controlled it from there onwards.

By scoring his fifth victory in six races, Hamilton has turned a 43-point deficit into a six-point advantage.

Rosberg had to settle for runner-up, 1.9 seconds behind, with Red Bull Racing’s Daniel Ricciardo just managing to hold off Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari for the final podium spot.

Ricciardo’s team-mate Max Verstappen did the same to the other Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen in a scrap so close The Iceman clipped the young teenager’s car at one stage.

Neither Mercedes had made a supreme getaway from the front row and the Red Bulls both attacked.

Ricciardo was ahead around the outside but Hamilton kept both the Australian and Verstappen’s inside line attack at bay. Rosberg then repassed Ricciardo around the outside of Turn 2.

At first the Red Bulls stayed close to the Mercedes, with Verstappen complaining he was “driving like a grandma” behind Ricciardo.

But the the main loser in the first round of stops, dropping behind Vettel as Ferrari used an undercut and also Raikkonen, who started P14 on softs and ran 29 laps in his first stint. The time spent behind The Iceman left Verstappen out of the podium fight.

Just before the midway point Hamilton was warned by his team to pick up the pace otherwise Rosberg would pit first at the second round of stops to fend off the threat being posed by Ricciardo.

“I’m driving to the best of my ability,” responded Hamilton, who then managed a surge to put 2.8 seconds between himself and Rosberg.

It was enough for Hamilton to take precedence as another set of softs was fitted after 41 laps, with Rosberg following a lap later, and both stayed ahead of the early-stopping Ricciardo.

On lap 53 of 70, with Hamilton held up by the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez – earning a middle-finger salute from the reigning champion when he finally passed and a five-second time penalty for ignoring blue flags – Rosberg closed to 0.6 seconds.

Hamilton then edged away, only for the gap to fall to 0.6 sseconds again after 62 laps following a small lock-up at Turn 12, but it was as close as Rosberg managed to get.

Vettel steadily closed in on Ricciardo for third to no avail, while Raikkonen found himself chasing Verstappen as their alternate strategies played out, attacking repeatedly on fresh super-softs but ended up frustrated.

Behind the top six was Fernando Alonso, followed by  Carlos Sainz, Valtteri Bottas and Nico Hulkenberg.

McLaren’s Jenson Button was the only retirement after a miserable race including an early loss of hydraulic pressure affecting his brakes.

A drive-through penalty for unauthorised radio communication while addressing the problem and finally an oil leak. A terrible race for the 2009 champion.

So a change in the championship between the Mercedes drivers. Hamilton has a six-point lead over Rosberg, and yet it is Nico’s home race coming up at Hockenheim. Expect strong support for the German driver next weekend.

Next race: German Grand Prix, Hockenheim. July 29-31.

Nico Rosberg achieved his 26th career pole position in a rain-affected qualifying session at the Hungaroring. The championship leader grabbed the P1 slot from his Mercedes team-mate in the final moment of Q3.

Lewis Hamilton held provisional pole after the initial runs in a dry Q3, and looked on course to seal the deal on his second run, but backed out as Fernando Alonso spun his McLaren at Turn 9 and brought out the yellow flags.

Rosberg was running behind Hamilton on track, and though there was a yellow for Rosberg at Turn 8, Alonso had got going again by the time Rosberg reached Turn 9.

While the first sector of Rosberg’s final flying lap was more then four tenths slower than Hamilton’s, he was fastest of all through the second sector on a rapidly improving track and stole P1 from Hamilton by less than two tenths of a second.

Red Bull Racing’s Daniel Ricciardo also had to abort his final flyer and wound up third fastest, just 0.172 seconds slower than Hamilton in a session he called “crazy”.

Max Verstappen was fourth quickest, ahead of the Toro Rosso of Carlos Sainz, the McLaren pair of Alonso and Jenson Button, with Nico Hulkenberg’s Force India and the Williams of Valtteri Bottas completing the top ten.

Hamilton was fortunate to even make it through to Q3 after locking up and running wide at Turn 1 on his final Q2 lap.

On a rapidly drying track, the British Grand Prix winner tumbled down the order, but remained just inside the top ten as Romain Grosjean, Daniil Kvyat, Sergio Perez, Kimi Raikkonen, Esteban Gutierrez, and Felipe Nasr all missed the cut.

A twenty-minute rain delay and four red flags meant Q1 lasted well over an hour.

A second downpour shortly after an already rain delayed start caused the first stoppage, before Marcus Ericsson crashed at Turn 10, Felipe Massa at Turn 4 and finally Rio Haryanto – again at Turn 10 – all had crashes that prompted red flags. Q1 was eventually over despite a time of one minute, 18 seconds remaining on the clock after Haryanto’s incident.

“Aww f***ing hell, that’s really poor!” moaned Jolyon Palmer on team radio, as he became the biggest loser of the track position lottery and finished the session P17, having lapped inside the top ten in final practice.

Massa ended up P18, ahead of Kevin Magnussen – who began his final run on wets and aborted to switch to intermediates just before the final stoppage – Ericsson, Pascal Wehrlein and Haryanto.

So an incident-filled qualifying session which took two hours to settle the grid for the Hungaroring. Championship leader on pole, with his Mercedes team-mate and title rival alongside.

Lewis Hamilton scored his hat trick of Silverstone victories  in a rain-hit British Grand Prix.

The reigning world champion finished the 52 lap race by 6.9 seconds over Rosberg. The series leader is being investigated for a breach of radio rules.

Max Verstappen made his second successive podium appearance for Red Bull with third. The teenager was fighting the Mercedes most of the race.

Verstappen nearly grabbed second when Rosberg ran into late gearbox problems.

The championship leader was told to shift quickly through seventh gear and given a line of advice on settings.

The British Grand Prix started with six laps behind the safety car after a heavy shower, though it had stopped raining by the time the race began.

Several drivers, led by Kimi Raikkonen in fifth, dived straight into the pits for intermediates when the safety car pulled in but Hamilton, Rosberg and Verstappen opted to stay out.

It proved to be smart decision as the virtual safety car was introduced when Pascal Wehrlein beached his Manor in the gravel, allowing the top three to pit and rejoin with a sizeable distance on the rest.

Verstappen coped with the drying track better than Rosberg, carrying far more speed through Becketts and then passing around the outside within the high-speed complex for second before pulling away.

Sebastian Vettel started the trend for dry tyres soon afterwards, with the top three maintaining the same order as they moved to slicks.

Hamilton and Verstappen were caught out by a puddle at Abbey (Turn 1), pitching them over the runoff and allowing the top three to close to within five seconds just past half-distance.

Rosberg was quicker than Verstappen as the track continued to dry and after complaining that the Red Bull driver moved too many times in defence, he eventually made the pass to grab second around the outside of Stowe.

Rosberg then closed on Hamilton, getting the gap down from eight to six seconds before the gearbox scare halted his chase.

Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo finished fourth for the fifth time in ten races this season, with mid-race Raikkonen fifth after a late pass on Sergio Perez – who had gained ground by staying out on wets as long as the leaders – into Stowe.

Nico Hulkenberg was seventh, ahead of Carlos Sainz and Vettel, who held onto ninth despite a five-second time penalty for forcing Felipe Massa off track at Village.

Raikkonen, Perez and Sainz all escaped track excursions and spins at Abbey on the same slippery patch that caught out Hamilton and Verstappen.

Daniil Kvyat completed the top ten to ensure Toro Rosso’s fourth double-points finish of the season.

Massa missed out on points in P11 ahead of Jenson Button, who started P17, and Fernando Alonso, who had a spectacular spin at Abbey and nudged the barrier before continuing.

Jolyon Palmer had a messy home race, with a ten seconds stop-go penalty after his Renault team released him in the pits without a right-rear tyre, and retired late on.

Rio Haryanto spun out at Abbey, tapping the barrier, while Kevin Magnussen, Romain Grosjean and Marcus Ericsson also failed to see the chequered flag.

So a dream result for Lewis Hamilton. The British driver winning in front of the home crowd. Only a single point the difference between him and Nico Rosberg. The fight for the title is on.

Next race: Hungarian Grand Prix, Hungaroring. July 22-24.

Home crowd favourite Lewis Hamilton achieved pole position at the British Grand Prix. Setting a new lap record in an exiting qualifying session.

The Mercedes driver was in the zone, full of confidence thanks to the fans support. His Q2 lap was an impressive one minute, 29.243 seconds. A new record at the home of motor racing.

In Q3, the championship challenger was on provisional pole with yet another solid lap. But race control deleted his time after exceeding track limits. The Mercedes driver gained extra speed on the exit of Copse corner with wheels off the circuit…

Hamilton bounced back on his final run, going another half a tenth faster to grab pole for his home race, again just over three tenths clear of Rosberg.

Red Bull locked out the second row of the grid, with Max Verstappen outqualifying team-mate Daniel Ricciardo for the first time, by 0.305 seconds.

Ferrari was next up, Kimi Raikkonen well clear of Sebastian Vettel. The four-time champion survived a massive slide at Stowe on his best lap in Q3, but will fall back to P11 when a gearbox-change penalty is applied.

Vettel’s lap was still enough to leave him 0.067 seconds clear of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas, while Fernando Alonso put his McLaren-Honda eighth quickest before his best time was deleted for running off track at Stowe.

Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg also had his best time deleted – for running wide at Copse – so Carlos Sainz claimed eighth place for Toro Rosso. Hulkenberg was demoted to ninth, Alonso in tenth.

Sergio Perez narrowly missed the top ten cut-off after a series of late improvements in Q2.

He trailed Force India team-mate Hulkenberg by just over a tenth of a second.

Felipe Massa ended up a disappointing P12 for Williams, just ahead of the Haas pairing of Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez, and Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat.

Both Grosjean and Kvyat failed to improve during their second runs in Q2, with Kvyat complaining of being blocked by Kevin Magnussen’s Renault.

Magnussen put Renault into Q2 for the first time since the Spanish Grand Prix, despite having a time deleted for a track limits offence in Q1.

Magnussen’s P16 came at the expense of McLaren-Honda’s Jenson Button, who failed to escape Q1 after deciding not to do a second run.

Button’s first run was over half a second slower than team-mate Alonso, and left him only a few tenths clear of the drop zone.

Late improvements from Kvyat and Magnussen – who pipped Button by just 0.059 seconds – meant the British driver wound up only P17, in a car that should have been good enough for Q2.

Jolyon Palmer was the fastest Renault driver after the first runs in Q1 – despite both having times deleted for track limits offences – but failed to improve on his second run so ended up P18.

Rio Haryanto pipped Manor team-mate Pascal Wehrlein to be P19, while Sauber will bring up the rear of the grid.

Felipe Nasr was slowest of the runners and Marcus Ericsson failed to participate in qualifying after crashing heavily in final practice and going to hospital for precautionary checks.

So a popular pole position winner with Lewis Hamilton. Championship rival Nico Rosberg alongside. Will there be another clash between the Silver Arrows? We shall find out on race day at the British Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton resists a robust defence from championship rival Nico Rosberg to take victory at the Red Bull Ring.

Battling for the Austrian Grand Prix lead, Hamilton closed in on Rosberg around the outside of Turn 2 on the final lap, only to be forced off the track as they again ran into one another.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has commented that post-race that Nico Rosberg suffered a brake-by-wire issue but this is questionable. As Rosberg seemed to block his team-mate Lewis Hamilton from taking the lead. Making no attempt to turn into the apex, rather keeping straight to stop his rival…

Rosberg sustained severe damage to his front wing, and was eventually passed by not only Hamilton but also Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari.

Rosberg was classified fourth and his championship lead has been reduced from 24 to 11 points. Race stewards are investigating for Rosberg causing a collision and failing to top with a seriously damaged car.

It was a dramatic finish to a thrilling race that started with Hamilton finally turning pole position into a lead coming out of Turn 1 after failing to do so from his four previous pole positions.

From his sixth place on the grid after serving a gearbox-change penalty following his crash in final practice, Rosberg claimed one position to run fifth at the end of lap one.

Soon after passing Jenson Button’s McLaren for fourth, Rosberg pitted to switch from ultra-softs to the soft compound after ten of the 71 laps.

While Rosberg rejoined in P15, 30 seconds from the lead, Hamilton conjured a remarkable job to eke life out of the ultra-soft tyres that had blistered so quickly in practice – helped by the cooler conditions of race day.

Although Hamilton managed to keep second-placed Kimi Raikkonen at bay, Rosberg managed to eat into his title rival’s advantage, slashing it to 21.9 seconds by the time Lewis eventually pitted after 21 laps.

A slow replacement of the left-rear did not help Hamilton’s cause, and he emerged a few seconds adrift of Rosberg.

Raikkonen pitted a lap later, but with Ferrari’s poor strategy calling this season again exposed as he emerged in sixth behind both Red Bulls.

Sebastian Vettel stayed out and assumed the lead, one that lasted for just five laps before his right-rear tyre exploded down the main straight, with Pirelli blaming track debris as the cause.

With Vettel stranded on track, the safety car was deployed and Rosberg led from Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo and Raikkonen at the restart, with the Mercedes soon pulling away.

Both would stop again, Hamilton coming in first with 19 laps to go and taking on used softs.

Again it was not the quickest from his crew, plus a poor Turn 2 for Hamilton enabled Rosberg to stay ahead after his stop for new super-softs a lap later.

The Mercedes then had to battle past Verstappen, who was nursing his softs on a 56-lap stint to the finish, before commencing a massive scrap that ended in their last-lap contact and a crucial win for Hamilton.

Behind Verstappen, Raikkonen and the damaged Rosberg, Ricciardo claimed fifth after a late stop for ultra-softs.

Button held his own among the frontrunners at first and finished sixth for McLaren-Honda, ahead of Romain Grosjean and Carlos Sainz.

A last-lap crash for Sergio Perez after an apparent mechanical problem promoted Valtteri Bottas to ninth and Pascal Wehrlein into tenth and a point for Manor.

This was a rewarding result for Manor. After making Q2 in qualifying, to score a championship point with Wehrlein’s solid effort is a brilliant achievement.

The other Force India of Nico Hulkenberg went backwards from his first front-row start for five and a half years, making three pitstops for tyres and retiring from the midfield late on.

So, a controversial ending to the Austrian Grand Prix with the Mercedes drivers crashing into one another. The British Grand Prix follows and it’s going to be fascinating to see if Lewis Hamilton can keep up this winning feeling in front of his home fans.

Next race: British Grand Prix, Silverstone. July 8-10.

Lewis Hamilton achieved his fifty-four career pole position at the Red Bull Ring, recovering from his tyre blistering problems in final practice to top a rain-affected and dramatic qualifying session.

The drivers began Q3 on intermediate tyres after rain fell heavily in Spielberg at the end of Q2, but everyone had to switch to dry tyres for the last few minutes as the track conditions improved.

Hamilton ended the session 0.543 seconds quicker than Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, but Rosberg will drop to seventh following a crash in final practice which resulting in a gearbox change.

Nico Hulkenberg’s Force India was the first car to switch to slicks in Q3 and ended the session with the third quickest time, ahead of Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari, which also carries a five-place grid penalty.

Jenson Button was a superb fifth quickest for McLaren-Honda and will start third on the grid thanks to Rosberg’s and Vettel’s penalties.

This was Button’s first appearance in Q3 since 2014 and to qualify on row two is a rewarding effort for the Woking-based team.

Kimi Raikkonen was 0.001 seconds slower than Button and yet, just ahead of Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull.

Valtteri Bottas, Max Verstappen and Felipe Massa rounded out the top ten.

That rain during the final minutes of Q2 prevented Mercedes matching the Red Bull and Ferrari strategy of setting faster times on super-soft tyres, meaning they can start the race on those sets.

Mercedes tried to respond after it used ultra-softs at the beginning of Q2, before the rain came, but the track was too wet when it sent its cars out on super-softs, so Hamilton and Rosberg will start on the less suitable softest compound.

The bad weather also protected Button from possible elimination, as he made Q3 for the first time since the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by edging ahead of Esteban Gutierrez’s Haas, which finished the session in P11.

Manor’s Pascal Wehrlein starred with the tenth best time in Q1, before going P12 in Q2 – equalling Manor’s best qualifying result in the sport.

Romain Grosjean ran off track during his first run in Q2 on old tyres, and the subsequent rain condemned him to P13, 0.150 seconds adrift of Wehrlein.

Fernando Alonso was a distant P14 in the McLaren-Honda, after mistakenly doing his first Q2 run on old tyres.

He finished the session ahead only of the Toro Rosso of Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez’s Force India, who both sat out Q2 due to engine and suspension failures respectively.

The climax to the first part of qualifying was heavily affected by two separate incidents for Toro Rosso.

First, Daniil Kvyat crashed after suffering suspension failure over the exit kerb at Turn 8, which caused a red flag that meant rivals had to abort runs.

Then team-mate Sainz suffered his problem exiting the pits after the restart, which caused yellow flags and rendered the final minutes largely redundant.

However, Hulkenberg improved his lap time while the yellow flags were out, so his front-row start is under threat from an investigation into how much he backed off when passing the incident.

Sainz remained P11, while Renault pairing Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer stayed P17 and P18, behind Alonso’s McLaren.

Rio Haryanto ended up P19 for Manor, improving under the yellow flags but not in the first sector and not by enough to gain any places.

Kvyat ended up P20, narrowly ahead of the Saubers of Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr, the latter of which also improved under the yellows but again not by enough to improve position.

*Five-place grid penalty for changing gearbox

After the setback of the past two races, Nico Rosberg returns to the winner circle with victory at the Baku street circuit.

The Mercedes driver’s fifth Grand Prix win this season means he has extended his world championship lead over title rival Lewis Hamilton by 24 points.

Rosberg led into the first corner from pole and set about building a lead he would never give up, while Mercedes team-mate Hamilton can only finish fifth.

Last weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix winner made good progress through the field from tenth, having crashed out in qualifying, but then encountered lower than maximum electrical deployment.

The reigning world champion repeatedly asked his team for help in solving the problem, but Mercedes was unable to tell him what to do under this season’s radio communication restrictions.

Hamilton was able to fix the problem in the closing stages of the European Grand Prix but it proved to be too late and he was unable to improve on fifth position.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finished second for the second successive race with Force India’s Sergio Perez scoring his second podium in three races with third place.

‘Checo’ Perez passed Kimi Raikkonen on the final lap to snatch third, but he was set to get the place anyway as Raikkonen had been given a five-second time penalty for crossing the white line on pit entry earlier in the race.

Valtteri Bottas was a lonely sixth while Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen passed Nico Hulkenberg late on to finish seventh and eighth respectively.

The Red Bulls used a two-stop strategy, fitting the softs and the the mediums, while Hulkenberg only did a single pit stop so they had fresher tyres.

Hulkenberg held on to ninth, one position ahead of Felipe Massa, who scored points for the seventh time in eight races.

Jenson Button finished just outside the points in P11 but his McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso was told to pit and retire the car with seven laps to go.

Felipe Nasr scored his best result of the season with P12, ahead of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, who started from the pitlane.

Pascal Wehrlein was running strongly when he suffered brake failure and retired his Manor for the first time this season.

The Toro Rossos were the only other retirements, both Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz Jr suffering suspension issues.

So a great result for Nico Rosberg. Race victory has rebuild his confidence in the championship. As for the action at Baku, it lacked drama compared to the Le Mans 24 Hours, which clashed with the European Grand Prix.

Championship leader Nico Rosberg takes a vital pole position for the European Grand Prix in Azerbaijan, as his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton crashed out in Q3.

Rosberg glanced the wall during his own final run at the Baku city circuit, but still did enough to claim the top grid slot by nearly eight tenths of a second.

The Canadian Grand Prix winner had earlier set the fastest time of all in the first sector but went off at Turn 15.

Hamilton regrouped and tried again, matching Rosberg’s pace in the first sector, but clipped the inside wall at Turn 12 and broke the front-right suspension on his Silver Arrows.

That caused the session to be red-flagged, and eventually left Hamilton down in tenth position, without having set a proper time in Q3.

It was a messy qualifying for the defending champion, who went off during each segment.

Sergio Perez therefore finished the session second quickest for Force India, but he will start seventh thanks to having to change the gearbox following a crash at the end of final practice.

Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel set identical lap times, over four tenths down on the Force India, but Ricciardo takes the honour on the account of being first across the timing line so inherits the front row position.

“Oh come on, you’re joking!” rued Vettel, after Ferrari broke the bad news over team radio.

Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa rounded out the top six, ahead of Daniil Kvyat, the Williams of Valtteri Bottas, and Max Verstappen’s Red Bull, who almost collided with Bottas during their first runs in Q3.

Romain Grosjean’s Haas came within a tenth of making the top ten, but ended the session P11, ahead of Nico Hulkenberg. The Force India driver spun on his first run in Q2 and was only P12 on his second attempt, complaining over team radio about a miscommunication of his run plan.

The Toro Rosso of Carlos Sainz Jr was P13, ahead of Fernando Alonso’s McLaren-Honda and Esteban Gutierrez, who went off at Turn 7 on his final flying lap.

Felipe Nasr got Sauber through to Q2 for the first time since the Chinese Grand Prix, but couldn’t go any quicker in Q2 so finished up P16.

Manor-Mercedes enjoyed a competitive qualifying session, but missed out on making the Q2 cut by less than two tenths.

Rio Haryanto was fractionally faster than Mercedes junior Pascal Wehrlein, and both were quicker than Jenson Button’s McLaren-Honda, which wound up P19 after backing out of his final flying lap in Q1.

He ended up 0.054 seconds down on Wehrlein and cursing over team radio.

Marcus Ericsson was P20 for Sauber, despite grazing a wall on his final lap, while Renault pairing Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer brought up the rear of the grid.

*Grid penalty due to a gearbox change

Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix – his fifth at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve – while his championship rival Nico Rosberg lost ground and finished in fifth spot.

The Mercedes driver finished five seconds clear of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, who had a shot at victory following a fantastic start, but failed to make a two-stop strategy work in comparison to the one-stop for Hamilton.

It means after seven of the 21 races this year, Hamilton is now just nine points from Rosberg, who spun near the end trying to pass Max Verstappen for fourth, with the defending champion taking 34 points out of the latter’s early advantage over the last two Grands Prix.

Valtteri Bottas also managed just a one-stop strategy to claim third in his Williams, scoring both his and the team’s first podium since Mexico last season.

Hamilton made another poor start from pole, while from third on the grid Vettel blasted by the Silver Arrows pair to take the lead.

Behind Vettel, Hamilton held the inside line into Turn 1 where he and Rosberg bumped wheels as the latter attempted to pass around the outside.

The slight collision, however, was enough to force Rosberg to go off the circuit, dropping him to ninth place and facing a battle to fight through the field in the cold conditions.

Rosberg lost another place before the end of lap one to fall to tenth, leaving Vettel and Hamilton to fight for the win and a battle of strategies between Ferrari and Mercedes.

Ferrari caused a surprise when Vettel pitted at the end of lap 11 and under a virtual safety car period caused by Jenson Button’s engine blowing on his McLaren, the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix winner pulling his car onto a grass verge.

In switching from the ultra-soft tyre to the super-soft, it was apparent Vettel would have to pit again with the soft compound being the mandatory set for the race designated by Pirelli.

At that stage Vettel dropped to fourth behind the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, although come the end of lap 18 he had cleared both to move up to second behind Hamilton.

Six laps later Hamilton made his only pit stop, taking on the soft tyres, leaving him with 46 to the end, with the prediction from Pirelli being it could run for fifty laps.

It was another 13 before Ferrari pitted Vettel again to take on the soft tyres, retaining his second place and emerging 7.8 seconds behind Hamilton.

Vettel closed the gap to 4.3 seconds behind Hamilton after 55 laps, but he locked up into the final chicane on lap 56 and again on lap 61 to drop him to 6.7 seconds adrift, effectively ending his bid for victory.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen managed to fend off Rosberg to finish fourth, whose attempt at a pass into the final chicane on lap 69 ended with him spinning off track, although he kept his engine running.

Rosberg had had a shot at third earlier in the race, but he suffered a slow puncture to his right-rear tyre with 19 laps remaining that dropped him to seventh at the time.

Kimi Raikkonen was sixth ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, the only two other drivers to finish on the same lap as Hamilton.

Completing the points-scoring positions were Force India duo Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez in eighth and tenth, with  Carlos Sainz in between. The Toro Rosso racer started P20 after taking a gearbox penalty before the start.

Also on the list of retirees alongside Button were Renault’s Jolyon Palmer on lap 18 with a water leak and Felipe Massa’s Williams after 37 laps with engine issues.

So a brilliant result for Lewis Hamilton. Fifth victory at the Canadian Grand Prix and now nine points behind his championship rival.

Ferrari’s strategy did not work out for Sebastian Vettel who gave it all in the race.

A new event comes up next at Baku. It’s going to be a fascinating Grand Prix especially in terms of the championship.

Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton achieved his fifth Canadian Grand Prix pole position at the Circuit Gilles Villeueve.

The Mercedes driver edged out his championship rival Nico Rosberg by a tiny margin of 0.062 seconds to earn his fifty-third career pole in Formula 1.

Hamilton held on to top spot despite failing to improve on his second run in Q3 at the Montreal circuit.

Rosberg messed up his second run at the first corner so also failed to improve, while Sebastian Vettel cursed losing some traction at the hairpin on his final flying lap.

Vettel put on a brave fight for Ferrari but was unable to match the sheer speed from the Silver Arrows. Third on the grid is the end result. Just 0.116 seconds adrift.

The Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen qualified fourth and fifth respectively. A solid effort from the charging bulls, ahead of Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.

Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa were seventh and eighth for Williams, with the former less than a tenth away from beating The Iceman.

Nico Hulkenberg’s Force India was almost two tenths further back from Massa in ninth, while Fernando Alonso’s McLaren-Honda rounded out the top ten.

Alonso made Q3 for the third race in succession by bumping Sergio Perez out of the top ten in the closing moments of Q2, so the Force India driver ended up in P11.

Jenson Button was fractionally quicker than his McLaren team-mate Alonso in the first two sectors of his final lap in Q2, but he dropped time in the final sector and wound up P12 – blaming a lack of a tow on the run from the hairpin.

Daniil Kvyat’s Toro Rosso was just 0.020 secondss slower in P13, ahead of Haas pairing Esteban Gutierrez and Romain Grosjean, who were separated by 0.232 seconds.

The Toro Rosso of Carlos Sainz Jr ended up slowest in Q2 after he bashed against the Wall of Champions at the end of his first proper flying lap, causing the session to be red flagged while the track marshals remove his broken car.

Jolyon Palmer had earlier come within 0.015 secondss of stealing the final Q2 spot from Grosjean, but had to settle for P17 in his Renault.

He was 0.140 seconds ahead of the impressive Pascal Wehrlein, whose Manor was P15 after his first run in Q1, but slipped back when others improved.

Wehrlein’s hopes of improving himself were scuppered by team-mate Rio Haryanto clouting the wall at the exit of the first chicane, which effectively ended the closing minutes of Q1.

Wehrlein at least remained ahead of both Saubers, with Marcus Ericsson over a second clear of team-mate Felipe Nasr, who had to rely on a slow first run in Q1 thanks to the timing of Haryanto’s crash.

The second Renault of Kevin Magnussen failed to participate in qualifying following his heavy crash in final practice, so he will start last on the grid with the stewards’ permission.
