F1 returns to Austria for the next contest in the 2015 season. Hams bounced back after a tough time at Monaco and put together a solid race in Canada, the same track where he won his first GP. The usual suspects made up the top two, with Nico second and a new comer in Bottas taking third. Kimi finally tops Vettel, in fourth, but Vettel (5th) came from the back of the field. Also, Massa, finished in 6th after making a strong drive from the back of the field as well. Mercedes wins for the first time in Canada. And McLaren lays another egg, with a double DNF (as did Marussia). Maldonado actually put together a decent race, finishing 7th ahead of Grosjean (9th) and Nico Hulkenberg had an above average outing finishing in 8th for Force India. Congrats again to Nico Hulkenberg for his P1 team-driver finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in the Porsche 919; this makes 17 overall Le Mans wins for Porsche. Enjoy your weekends.
