Lewis Hamilton wins Canadian Grand Prix when Sebastian Vettel makes mistake

MONTREAL – Defending champion Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday to extend his overall lead after Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel committed yet another error under pressure.

It was Hamilton's fifth win in seven races and the 78th overall for the five-time F1 champion.

Vettel's car crossed the line first, but Hamilton won after a time penalty was imposed on Vettel. The German driver reacted angrily after the race, including replacing a No. 1 sign in front of Hamilton's car with a No. 2 sign.

"Obviously I'm angry, as you can imagine," Vettel said. "I gave everything I had today and more."

Vettel finished in second place, with teammate Charles Leclerc third ahead of Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas.

In the standings, Hamilton is 29 points clear of teammate Valtteri Bottas and already 62 ahead of Vettel.

Vettel was leading the race from pole position with a little more than 20 laps remaining. But with Hamilton closing in, Vettel veered onto the grass before swerving back onto the track and forcing Hamilton to slam on his brakes.

Vettel said on team radio "they're stealing this race from us," but it was another blunder from the four-time F1 champion following multiple mistakes in losing the past two championships to Hamilton.

Vettel felt he had no choice but to momentarily go off track.

"Where am I supposed to go?" Vettel said. "This is a wrong world, this is not fair."

The break in NASCAR's Cup Series schedule will be at least one day shorter.

Sunday's race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn was postponed because of rain. It was rescheduled for Monday, the second time in about a month that a Cup race has been pushed past the weekend.
