Canadian Grand Prix (2013): RESULT

A Red Bull win for Sebastian Vettel in the Canadian Grand Prix Qualifying for the 2013 Canadian Grand Prix was a bit of a lottery, with spins and crashes and odd results thanks to rain. But despite the rain, we still ended up with a grid that looked about what you’d predict – apart from a Williams in third place – and the race ended up much the same – but without the Williams near the front. From the start Vettel powered away and, apart from three laps, led the Canadian Grand Pric from beginning to end to take his – and Red Bull’s – first win in North America – which will please Infiniti no end.
