CANADIAN GRAND PRIX 2010 Race

The 2010 Canadian Grand Prix was held June 13, 2010 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal.

The opening lap saw drama unfold before the field had even cleared the start gantry.While Hamilton won the drag raceto the first corner, in the middle of the pack, Massa and Liuzzi made contact three times in one corner.

As Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso established the running order, Kobayashi and Hulkenberg tangled on the run into the final corners. Kobayashi became the Wall of Champions' 2010 victim.



Sebasttien Buemi

The tire lottery produced an unlikely winner with Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi inherited the lead for a lap before his pit stop, the first time a Toro Rosso had lead a race since Sebastien Bourdais at the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix.

An accident between Schumacher and Kubica was narrowly avoided when Schumacher refused to yield on the approach to the fourth corner. It was the first of many incidents involving Schumacher later tangling with Sutil and Massa.

Webber's tire strategy initially paid off but, as the race wore on, his tires began to deteriorate. Hamilton, running second at the time, quickly reduced the lead and caught him with twenty laps to go, dragging Alonso thorough the process .

As Hamilton settled back into the lead Button took Alonso by surprise, passing him around the back half of the circuit and positioning McLaren for a consecutive one-two finish.

The top five  -- Hamilton, Button, Alonso, Vettel and Webber -- would remain in place until the very end with Vettel stopping on the circuit just after he crossed the finish line. Rosberg fended off a late surge from Kubica to claim sixth with Kubica seventh.
