Vettel once again showed his uncanny knack for delivering when it counts come rain or shine, nailing a lap when conditions were at their best in Q3 to take pole.

In typical Vettel fashion, he pulled away early on and never looked threatened. There were two moments, though - a kiss of the wall at the exit of Turn 3 and an off-track moment at Turn 1 after the rear stepped out of shape. That costs him the elusive maximum score.

Webber was upbeat through much of the weekend, although he couldn't quite find the pace when it counted in Q3. His race performance showed that his confidence was justified, battling his way past Hamilton to run second at one point.

While he did come from a long way back to try to lap van der Garde, he was perhaps entitled to expect the Caterham to yield. The resulting damage cost him a podium. Not perfect, but one of his better weekends of the year.

Start: 6th
Finish: 2nd

Rating: 8

Friday suggested that Alonso had a very good chance of winning, but the wet weather was not what he wanted to see given the weakness of the Ferrari on intermediate rubber. Even so, he admitted he could have done better in qualifying.

Had he started a few places higher, he might have been able to give Vettel more to think about, but from sixth his drive to second was characteristically well-executed, taking his time and pulling off passes when he needed to.

Massa's weekend was a combination of good moments, bad moments and strategic misfortune. His error in qualifying, touching the white line during Q2 on the approach to Turn 3 and spinning into the barrier, meant he was always playing catch-up in the race.

He sliced up the order early on, but putting the super-softs on for his second stint halted that progress and left him feeding on scraps. Considering where he started, was relatively happy with four points.

Button went into the weekend hoping for wet weather to give him a shot at a result. Well, the weather played its part but the McLaren still wasn't at the races.

Fell in Q2 after just missing out on the chance to start a last-gasp flier after the red flag. In the race, he wasn't able to make much progress, the fact that his and Perez's differing strategies led to a time difference of only two-and-a-half seconds telling you that the car pace simply wasn't there.

The Mexican could at least draw some satisfaction from outqualifying Button for the third race in a row, but was kicking himself for failing to make Q3 in wet conditions.

Come the race, he opted for a two-stopper and did a pretty decent job, it's just that the McLaren wasn't a particularly strong contender for points. On the plus side, he kept out of trouble, showed decent pace relative to his machinery and was the lead McLaren home. A creditable weekend's work.

Lotus-Renault E21
Start: 10th
Finish: 9th
Strategy: 1 stop (super-soft/medium)
Rating: 7

On paper, 10th place from 10th on the grid is pretty disappointing for a driver considered as a world championship threat. But the Lotus wasn't particularly competitive in Canada either in wet or dry conditions.

That, combined with a soft brake pedal and losing around four seconds with a pitstop problem, meant that a point was an OK result even if Raikkonen didn't seem to be at his brilliant best in Montreal. Also kept it clean in battle.

Came into the weekend with a 10-place grid penalty for rear-ending Daniel Ricciardo's Toro Rosso in Monaco, a punishment compounded by missing the best of the track conditions, causing him to fall in Q1. It would be unfair to be too critical of Grosjean for that set of circumstances.

Looked to be a points threat after starting on mediums, but didn't last long enough in the first stint and asked too much of the super-softs, leading to an unplanned second stop.

Mercedes F1 W04
Start: 4th
Finish: 5th
Strategy: 3 stops (super-soft/super-soft/medium/medium)
Rating: 7

Considering this was a weekend when things did not quite go right for the Monaco GP winner, he should be pleased to come out of it with a solid haul of 10 points.

In qualifying, the loss of his radio made Q3 very difficult and come the race, he didn't seem able to make the tyres last as well as team-mate Hamilton. Was on course for fifth even before the precautionary pitstop caused by flat-spotting his front-right tyre at the chicane.

Hamilton seemed strangely downbeat and introverted off track, but looked good on track throughout practice. Did two-thirds of a pole lap, but it's likely that the wet in the final sector would have cost him too much time to beat Vettel even had he made the final chicane.

Drove well in the race, managing the tyres well, pushing when he needed to and ending up with a solid podium finish after mixing it with both Alonso and Webber. A better performance than his demeanour suggested.

Sauber-Ferrari C32
Start: 9th
Finish: DNF
Strategy: retired (super-soft/medium/medium)
Rating: 8

The Sauber looked awful in Canada but Hulkenberg all but put the car in Q3 only to be bumped by Adrian Sutil in the post-red flag mini-session.

Come the race, it was the same old story as he flirted with the points, but even a fine drive couldn't overcome the fundamental lack of pace of the Sauber and was set to finish well outside the points when a clash while lapping van der Garde's Caterham led to him retiring the car a few corners later.

Finish: 20th

Rating: 4

Struggled to find the opportunity to put together a proper lap in Q2, but he wasn't the only one. Delivering in qualifying continues to trouble the rookie, who is, on average, a second off Hulkenberg's pace when it counts. But even in the race, he never looked completely comfortable.

That the car was all over the place made his lack of pace forgivable, but locking up exiting the pits after his second stop and sliding into the tyre barrier was embarrassing.

Force India-Mercedes VJM06
Start: 17th
Finish: 7th
Strategy: 1 stop (medium/super-soft)
Rating: 8

The Scot's reputation for complaining about team blunders continued to build when he criticised both the failure to set the gearbox settings correctly and the decision to fix what was only a minor problem during Q1, robbing him of the best of the track conditions.

But he was still bullish about pace and executed a one-stop strategy beautifully, to the point where he might have only finished one place higher with a good grid position. His consistency has stepped up impressively in 2013.

There was a lot to like about Sutil's performance during the Canadian GP weekend, but it was largely undone by a few ill-judged moments.

During the mad post-red flag flurry in Q2, he was the only drive to barge his way into the top 10, a reminder of his great feel in the damp. He was too rash trying to pass Bottas early on, resulting in a spin, and was pushing his luck when he didn't let Hamilton and Alonso through, earning him a penalty that cost him eighth place.

Rating: 6

Maldonado certainly wasn't as impressive as Bottas, but he looked a strong contender to join him in Q3 and was on a lap that surely would have put him there when the red flag came out.

In the race, Maldonado was very disappointed with the lack of pace in the car. The only mark he was able to make on Sunday afternoon was on the back of Sutil's Force India, which he clouted at the chicane, earning him a penalty.

Williams-Renault FW35
Start: 3rd
Finish: 14th

Rating: 9

Drivers with real potential to emerge as superstars have an uncanny knack of delivering when opportunity knocks and that's what Bottas did throughout qualifying. He didn't fluke his way to third, he was there on merit and only with the assistance of a very slight hike in downforce for the conditions.

Come the race, he regressed to the mean of the Williams and there was no obvious way he could have finished higher. Qualifying was great, the race much better than it looked.

Toro Rosso-Ferrari STR8
Start: 7th
Finish: 6th
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/medium/super-soft)
Rating: 10

The Frenchman is showing signs of real progress that, if sustained, could force Red Bull to add him to its shortlist for 2014.

In damp conditions, he looked far happier than his team-mate and breezed through to Q3 to earn a career-best seventh on the grid. His race was superb, holding seventh place early on, passing Bottas for sixth around the outside into Turn 1 and then keeping di Resta at bay. Couldn't have done any better, hence the 10.

Toro Rosso-Ferrari STR8
Start: 11th
Finish: 15th

Rating: 4

The Australian was far from happy with the Toro Rosso while running on intermediates and was perhaps fortunate to make Q3 with the assistance of the red flag.

Following a two- (effectively one-) place grid penalty, he ran in the points early on but his race turned to disaster as he struggled with rear-end grip, forcing a relatively early pitstop. From there, he didn't have the pace to get back into points contention. Despite the Q3 appearance, a disappointing weekend.

Caterham-Renault CT03
Start: 18th
Finish: 18th
Strategy: 2 stops (super-soft/medium/medium)
Rating: 6

Rain minimised the disadvantage of ceding his car to reserve driver Alexander Rossi in FP1 and he did a decent job in qualifying to line up at the front of the Caterham/Marussia scrap.

He had a relatively quiet race, although was able to get past Chilton late on and he had a far tidier race than his team-mate. Given Bianchi's pace, he would have been hard-pushed to have finished any higher. Overall, a solid weekend's work, although there was nothing obviously extraordinary.

There were perhaps a few too many off-track moments in the wet, but he showed flashes of being able to overachieve again on intermediates in qualifying only to end up behind his team-mate after a big error on the lap that counted.

The race started well, but it unravelled amid collisions with first Webber and later Hulkenberg, both while being lapped, which was a shame as the Dutchman has been making some decent progress in recent races.

Bianchi's form ebbed and flowed with the weather. There were some messy moments in the wet, notably a session-ending off in FP1 and several offs in the tricky conditions early in qualifying. But when it mattered, he re-asserted himself over Chilton after stringing together a strong lap in the traffic and yellow flag-riddled closing stages of Q1.

His race pace was impressive, comfortably beating Pic and finishing only 21.717 seconds behind Maldonado. Unconvincing in the wet, but excellent in the dry.

Chilton revelled in the wet conditions and looked a genuine threat to Bianchi after beating him in their first runs in Q1. Traffic and yellow flags frustrated him when it mattered and he only shaved half-a-second off his earlier time on his second run despite far better conditions.

He sat behind Bianchi in the early going, but graining problems were costly, meaning he lost touch with his team-mate and Charles Pic. Overall, more solid progress.
