The Mercedes driver controlled the race from start to finish, leading home team-mate Valtteri Bottas, while Vettel could finish only fourth in the Ferrari, his championship lead cut by half to 12 points. Vettel dropped to the back when he needed to change his front wing, damaged by Red Bull's Max Verstappen at the start. He recovered well with some aggressive over taking on a two-stop strategy and caught the battle for third place, in which Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was leading the Force Indias of Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon, with seven laps to go. Vettel passed Ocon in a touch-and-go move into Turn One with four laps to go. An off-track moment a few corners later dropped him back from Perez but he made an aggressive move into the last corner with two laps to go. [IMG]http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/0400/production/_96442010_lewishamilton.jpg[/IMG] That six wins in Canada now for Hamilton. Only Michael Schumacher has more, on seven - they are way ahead of anyone in the history of the sport [SIZE=4][B]Hamilton vs Vettel - a battle denied[/B][/SIZE] Hamilton and Vettel qualified alongside each other on the front row and were expected to stage a close fight in the race for superiority in a race the Mercedes driver really needed to win to boost his title hopes. But the grand prix fell into Hamilton's lap within a few seconds of the start. Verstappen made an electrifying getaway from fifth place, threaded his way between the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas and swept around the outside of Vettel into the first corner. But the Dutchman slightly misjudged the move, and his left rear wheel clipped Vettel's front wing as he claimed the corner. [IMG]http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/16778/production/_96442029_canadiangp.jpg[/IMG] As Verstappen forced his way up to second at the first corner, he clipped Vettel's front wing, effectively ending his challenge [SIZE=4][B]The chaos which shaped the race[/B][/SIZE] Shortly afterwards, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz tangled with Haas' Romain Grosjean on the curving straight between Turns Two and three and the Spaniard lost control, spinning down the inside of the track and side-swiping Felipe Massa's Williams in Turn Three, forcing Fernando Alonso's McLaren on to the grass in avoidance. That brought out the safety car for four laps but Ferrari waited until the restart on lap five to bring in Vettel and change his front wing and fit a set of super-soft tyres. The plan may have been to try to get to the end on that set, but this was abandoned on lap 49, by which time Vettel was up to sixth place. Ferrari chose to stop Vettel again in the hope he would have fresher tyres and be able to catch and pass the cars battling for third place behind Hamilton and team-mate Valtteri Bottas. Their predictions that he would catch Ricciardo/Perez/Ocon with eight laps to go were spot on and it led to an entertaining and frantic battle from which Vettel emerged the victor.

He cruised away from Verstappen in the opening laps, and when the Red Bull retired with an engine problem on lap 11, Hamilton had a comfortable pace advantage over Bottas. He simply drove away unchallenged to his third victory of the year, prompting team boss Toto Wolff to say it was a "stellar" drive and one of his best performances in more than four years with the team.
