The seventh round of the 2014 Formula 1 season took place at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada.
It was the 45th Canadian Grand Prix to feature on the F1 calendar and the 34th to take place at the popular but very challenging 2.709 mile track.
Following a short stint competing closer to home, the sport briefly moved away from Europe and across the Atlantic Ocean for the first of two races of the 2014 season in North America.

Here is my weekend report for the seventh round of the F1 season in Canada, which will be updated after each session.
FP1
Despite dark clouds looming over the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, conditions remained dry for the first 90 minute practice session of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. It was a busy start, with Felipe Massa being the first driver to emerge from the pit lane.
The Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg swiftly moved to the front. On the low-grip track surface, there were plenty of off-track excursions, lock-ups and spins. Jules Bianchi was the first driver to hit the wall after an error at turn four. His car sustained track rod damage but he managed to limp back to the pits.
Fernando Alonso ended the session at the top of the timesheets with a 1m17.238. The Ferrari driver's best time was just 0.016 seconds faster than Hamilton's best effort, with Rosberg behind his team-mate in third. Vettel and Bottas rounded out the top five.
Daniel Ricciardo, Jenson Button, Kevin Magnussen, Kimi Raikkonen and Jean-Eric Vergne completed the top 10, with Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez next up. Massa was 17th after an ERS issue forced him to sit out the second part of the session and Alexander Rossi was 22nd, replacing Kamui Kobayashi at Caterham in first practice.
FP2
The second practice session got off to a slow start, but the pace soon picked up. Hamilton finished at the top of the timesheets with a 1m16.118, just under two tenths clear of his team-mate Rosberg.
Vettel's late low-fuel option tyre run moved him up to third, with Raikkonen and Alonso rounding out the top five. The gap between Mercedes and the rest of the field proved to be smaller in second practice.
Massa, Bottas and Magnussen - who was lucky to avoid a penalty after blocking Adrian Sutil at turn 13 - were next up, with Button and Vergne completing the top 10. Like the morning session, there were plenty of mistakes and errors.
Grosjean was 11th, with Ricciardo, Hulkenberg and Perez next up. Further down the timesheets, Kvyat was 19th after failing to complete a super-soft run. Ericsson's session was cut short after he went straight on at turn three, while Bianchi managed just three tours of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve due to a mechanical issue.
FP3
The final practice session of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend took place under sunny skies. Hamilton was fastest for Mercedes by half a second, with a 1m15.610 on the soft tyre after he failed to improve his time during a late run on the option compound.
His team-mate Rosberg was also unable to decrease his lap time and finished third, behind the Williams of Massa. Alonso was fourth and Ricciardo completed the top five. Raikkonen, Bottas, Kvyat, Vergne and Vettel rounded out the top 10.
McLaren failed to make the progress that they had hoped, with Magnussen finishing 12th and Button in 16th, although he was slowed slightly by traffic towards the end of his final super-soft tyre lap. Sutil was 17th for Sauber but his team-mate finished down in 22nd.
Gutierrez spun at turn four mid-way through the session and hit the wall, damaging the left-rear corner of his car. The red flag emerged briefly, although the clock continued to count down. Grosjean, Perez and Ericsson all suffered spins at turn eight, while Magnussen lost control of his car at the second corner but kept the MP4-29 out of the barrier.
Qualifying
Q1
The first 18 minute qualifying session saw the slowest six drivers eliminated from the fight for pole position. It was a relatively quiet start, with Ericsson and Bottas being the first drivers to exit the pit lane and take to the circuit.
Hamilton was fastest for Mercedes after setting a 1m15.750 on the soft compound tyre. Magnussen was second for McLaren, on the option tyre, with Rosberg, Button, Massa and Bottas next up. Hulkenberg, Kvyat, Alonso and Raikkonen completed the top 10.
Only 21 drivers competed in the session, as a crash for Gutierrez in third practice forced Sauber to change his chassis. He was unable to compete. There were plenty of off-track excursions, including a crash for Ericsson. The error at turn nine caused Q1 to be red flagged with 16 seconds remaining, bringing the session to a slightly premature end. Maldonado was the first to be eliminated.
The Lotus driver pulled off track at turn three with a turbo issue in the closing stages. Chilton, Bianchi, Kobayashi and Ericsson joined him in the drop-zone. Gutierrez was 22nd but did not set a time.
Q2
The second session saw 16 drivers battle for a place in the top 10 shoot-out, with Sutil and Hulkenberg being the first drivers to exit the pit lane and set a lap time. It was a slightly livelier start in comparison to Q1, with conditions remaining warm and dry.
Hamilton was fastest with a 1m15.054 after a late improvement, with Rosberg moving up to second place with his final lap. Bottas, Massa, Ricciardo and Vettel also made it through to Q3, as did Alonso, Button, Raikkonen - who got very close to the wall at turn four - and Vergne.
Hulkenberg was the first driver in the drop-zone in the second session. His team-mate Perez was 13th and also failed to make it through, with Magnussen splitting the Force Indias.
Following Maldonado's problem in Q1, the Lotus team's disappointing qualifying session continued after Grosjean failed to make it into the top 10 shoot-out. He finished just ahead of Toro Rosso rookie Kvyat and Sutil.
Q3
The final qualifying segment got off to a quiet start, with Bottas being the first to take to the track. Rosberg was first after his opening run, from Hamilton and Bottas.
Following a short stint in the pits, the field re-appeared with fresh Pirelli tyres for one final attempt at moving up the order.
The German driver improved his time and it proved to be unbeatable. He took his second consecutive pole position and finished just one tenth ahead of his team-mate. Hamilton had to settle for the runner-up spot on the grid, with Vettel moving up to third with his final lap.
He displaced the Williams duo of Bottas and Massa, who completed the top five. Ricciardo was sixth in the second Red Bull, just ahead of Alonso. Vergne, Button and Raikkonen - who only set his first time with three minutes remaining - rounded out the top 10.

The Race
Conditions were warm and dry for the seventh round of the 2014 season. The Canadian Grand Prix is a favourite for drivers, teams and fans, so the news of a new 10-year deal on the previous day was extremely popular.
Despite his team-mate's strong track record at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Rosberg stormed to pole position on Saturday. Could Hamilton fight back and who would finish as best of the rest? Read on to find out...
The revs rose, the lights went out and the race got under way. Off the line, Hamilton had the better start and went side-by-side with his team-mate into turn one. He was forced to dip two wheels onto the run-off area and dropped to third behind Vettel.
It was a clean first corner but the safety car was deployed after a heavy crash for Bianchi at turn four. He was tagged by his team-mate at the previous corner and spun into the barrier with damage to the rear of his car. Chilton was also forced to retire, bringing his record-breaking run of consecutive race finishes to a close.
Rosberg led the field behind the safety car, with Vettel in second and Hamilton in third. Bottas managed to hold off the challenges of his team-mate on lap one to hold onto fourth. Vergne displaced Alonso, while Raikkonen moved ahead of Button.
Gutierrez pitted twice behind the safety car, switching to the super-soft tyre first and then returning to the prime compound. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG released the field at the end of lap seven, with Rosberg throwing the hammer down on the run to the final chicane.
Perez moved ahead of Button on the following tour after passing the Brit at turn 13. Hamilton displaced Vettel and moved into second place at the same corner, with a little help from DRS, on lap 10. Ericsson quietly retired from the race with a power-unit problem.
Ricciardo was the first front-runner to pit at the end of lap 13, moving onto the soft compound tyre. He returned to the track in 15th place. Bottas and Button took to their pit boxes on the following lap. Alonso managed to emerge from his stop a few laps later ahead of Vergne, but a slow trip to the pits for Massa dropped him back.
Rosberg was the first of the Mercedes drivers to stop for a fresh set of tyres at the end of lap 17. He lost a few tenths after a slide at turn four, narrowly avoiding the wall. Hamilton took to the pits on the following tour but returned to the track in second place.
The Brit swiftly closed in on his team-mate, with the gap to Rosberg being just eight tenths by lap 25. It increased slightly on the following tour after the race leader locked up and cut the final chicane. Meanwhile both Maldonado and Kobayashi retired from the Canadian Grand Prix.
Perez managed a 34-lap opening stint on the super-soft tyre before pitting for a fresh set of the option rubber. He returned to the track in 10th place. Bottas and Vettel took to the pit lane on the following two laps but both drivers lost out to Ricciardo when he stopped shortly after.
On lap 38 both Mercedes drivers reported problems and started losing time to the chasing pack. Hamilton had moved to within six tenths of his team-mate by lap 41, with Raikkonen spinning at turn 10 further down the field. Rosberg stopped for a new set of tyres on lap 44, emerging behind Massa who was attempting a one-stop race.
Hamilton pitted on the following lap and emerged ahead of his team-mate. He lost the position at turn 10 and then went straight on at the chicane, slowing with smoke billowing from his brakes. He retired on lap 47, with Massa taking to the pits on the next tour.
Rosberg took over the lead once again, but Perez, Ricciardo and Vettel swiftly closed in on the ailing Mercedes. The German was able to eke out a gap in the first two sectors, meaning the chasing Force India missed out on DRS, but then lost up to six tenths on the back straight.
Bottas attempted to pass Hulkenberg at turn 10 on lap 57 but the Finn outbraked himself, allowing Massa to pass both of them. Further back, Grosjean retired from the race on lap 61. Perez had a poor run through the final corner and was passed by Ricciardo on lap 66 around the outside at turn one.
The Aussie outbraked himself and was slow at turn two, bunching the pack up. However, he managed to hold on to second place, with Perez reporting brake issues in the closing stages. Gutierrez retired from the race with three laps remaining after losing power.
Ricciardo swiftly closed in on Rosberg and passed the Mercedes driver at the final chicane on lap 68. Vettel moved up to third place on the following lap at the same corner but there was drama at turn one on the final lap after contact between Perez and Massa.
The two drivers were pitched into the barrier at high speed, bringing out the safety car. Fortunately both were okay. It was a dramatic end to the race, with Ricciardo securing a popular first victory in F1 from Rosberg and Vettel.
Ricciardo wins the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix
Ricciardo drove a faultless race to take his maiden victory in Formula 1, benefiting from the problems of Mercedes to stand on the top step of the podium. He failed to make up ground in the early stages but a late move on Perez meant the Aussie managed to close in on Rosberg and pass the German just in time.
The Monaco Grand Prix winner finished in second place, managing to cling on to a strong result despite brake problems and a loss of power. It was later revealed that both Mercedes cars suffered MGU-K failures. Vettel rounded out the top three after a late move on the penultimate tour.
Button advanced to fourth in the final stint, passing Hulkenberg in the closing stages to secure McLaren's best result since the season opener in Australia. Alonso finished behind the sole Force India to finish the race in sixth, after a relatively quiet run.
Bottas slipped to seventh and suffered with a tyre vibration in the second half of the Canadian Grand Prix following a lock-up. Vergne was eighth for Toro Rosso, with Magnussen and Raikkonen sneaking into the points at the expense of Perez and Massa.
The two drivers involved in the last-lap crash were classified in 11th and 12th, with Sutil next up. Gutierrez was a late retirement but was still classified in 14th. It was a race of high attrition, with Grosjean, Kvyat and Hamilton also failing to finish.
Kobayashi, Maldonado and Ericsson exited the race early on, with Chilton and Bianchi both being eliminated after colliding on the opening tour. It was a highly dramatic finish and was a hugely popular result, ahead of the sport's return to Austria and Red Bull's home race.
