Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo scored his maiden Grand Prix victory in Canada this afternoon in a thrilling race that saw the retirement of Lewis Hamilton after a brake failure on his Mercedes, while teammate Nico Rosberg finished second despite power loss on his W05 Hybrid.
Rosberg held on to take second ahead of Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, helped by a last-lap safety car following a crash between Sergio Perez and Felipe Massa.
McLaren’s Jenson Button took fourth with a late charge. The Englishman passed Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso on the penultimate lap.
Williams’ Valtteri Bottas took seventh, ahead of the Toro Rosso of Jean-Eric Vergne, Kevin Magnussen’s McLaren and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.
