The Canadian Grand Prix, one of the most anticipated races in the Formula 1 calendar, took place on June 10, 2018, at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec. The race was the seventh round of the 2018 Formula 1 season and saw a thrilling battle for the top spot on the podium.
The Canadian Grand Prix is known for its fast and challenging track, which winds its way around the man-made Notre Dame Island in the St. Lawrence River. The drivers must navigate tight chicanes, long straights, and hairpin turns, making for an exciting and unpredictable race.
The 2018 race did not disappoint, with Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton emerging victorious after a tense battle with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Hamilton, who started from pole position, led for the majority of the race but came under pressure from Verstappen in the closing laps. The two drivers went wheel-to-wheel, with Verstappen even briefly taking the lead before Hamilton ultimately regained control and crossed the finish line first.
The win was Hamilton’s third of the season and solidified his lead in the drivers’ championship. It was also his seventh career victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, tying him with Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher for the most wins at the circuit.
In addition to the thrilling battle at the front of the pack, the Canadian Grand Prix also featured some standout performances from other drivers. Daniel Ricciardo, Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull, put in a strong drive to finish in fourth place after starting from the back of the grid due to a power unit penalty. Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, who came into the race as Hamilton’s closest rival in the championship, had a disappointing outing and could only manage a fifth-place finish.
Overall, the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix lived up to its reputation as a thrilling and unpredictable race.
