Race Summary
Lewis Hamilton dominated the Canadian Grand Prix from pole position, leading home Nico Rosberg and Valtteri Bottas in another Mercedes one-two finish at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Hamilton controlled the race with authority through Montreal's challenging combination of straights and tight corners, demonstrating the complete superiority that defined his 2015 campaign. The victory extended his championship lead and confirmed Mercedes' continued technical dominance into the season's second quarter.
The race featured Hamilton at his imperious best, managing tire deg radation and race pace to perfection while keeping Rosberg comfortably at bay. Bottas secured his second podium of 2015 for Williams, continuing the team's solid form as best of the rest behind the dominant Mercedes duo. Raikkonen's fastest lap for Ferrari showed they had underlying pace but couldn't challenge Mercedes for victories.
Hamilton's Canadian triumph was his fourth win from seven races and firmly established him as the championship favorite. The victory demonstrated his ability to control races from the front, a skill that would prove crucial in securing his third world title. For Rosberg, another second place was respectable but insufficient to challenge Hamilton's growing points advantage, as the championship battle was increasingly becoming a procession toward the British driver's coronation.
