The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve hosted yet another exciting and dramatic Canadian Grand Prix, with Daniel Ricciardo taking the win after the two Mercedes cars suffered problems.
The 2.709 mile track is situated on a man-made island and in the middle of a park, so it always produces some stunning photography. Here is the race weekend in pictures: All images in this piece are courtesy of my photography partners Octane Photographic. You can see more of their work right here.
Esteban Gutierrez crashed during the final practice session at turn four. The damage forced Sauber to change his chassis and meant he was unable to compete in qualifying.
Ericsson brought out the red flag in Q1 with 16 seconds remaining after finding the wall at turn nine. He qualified in 21st, but was promoted to 20th after his team-mate was given a gearbox change penalty.
Magnussen failed to make it through to Q3 after finishing the second session in 12th, behind Nico Hulkenberg and ahead of Sergio Perez and Romain Grosjean.
It was a dramatic end to the race following a huge crash between Sergio Perez and Felipe Massa, who had been running in fourth and fifth at the time. Fortunately both were okay, but the former was given a five-place penalty.
Jenson Button's race got off to a rather slow start, but he soon moved through the field and eventually finished fourth after several strong overtakes in the final few laps.
It was a miserable Canadian Grand Prix for Lotus. Maldonado retired early on with a power-unit issue, while Grosjean was forced to exit the race with a broken rear wing.
