Lewis Hamilton ended his weekend in Montreal in perfect style by taking his 56th career victory. The three-time world champion dominated the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and crossed the line almost twenty seconds ahead of second placed Valtteri Bottas.
Hamilton's win comes ten years after his maiden win in the sport. Hamilton took his first pole and win around the Montreal circuit in 2007 and repeated the drive today, on a special weekend where he matched his hero Ayrton Senna in the number of pole positions.
"I had my first pole here, had my first win here 10 years ago, so to repeat it this weekend is incredibly special," said Hamilton. "I have to thank my team who made this possible, the guys at the factory have worked so hard to really fix what we had in the last race to bring it here, and really give it to the Ferraris. It's great Valtteri did a fantastic job to collectively get great points – I'm over the moon."
