The 2017 Canadian Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2017)[1] was a Formula One motor race that took place on 11 June 2017 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1] The race was the seventh round of the 2017 FIA Formula One World Championship. It was the fifty-fourth running of the Canadian Grand Prix, and the forty-eighth time the event had been included as a round of the Formula One World Championship since the inception of the series in 1950, and the thirty-eighth time that a World Championship round had been held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
The race was won by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton who took pole, led every lap of the race and set the fastest lap. His teammate Valtteri Bottas finished second to allow Mercedes earn their first 1-2 finish of the season. Daniel Ricciardo, driving for Red Bull, finished the race in 3rd place to complete the podium positions. Mercedes dominated the weekend after a bad weekend at Monaco. Lance Stroll finished in 9th place, earning him his first career points in F1 and became the first Canadian Formula One driver to score a point since Jacques Villeneuve in the 2006 British Grand Prix.
