Hello everybody and welcome to AUTOSPORT Live for coverage and rolling updates from round seven of this year's FIA Formula 1 world championship - the Canadian Grand Prix from the Ile Notre Dame in Montreal.

The German edged out Lewis Hamilton by 0.087s, while Valtteri Bottas was the star turn and grabbed a superb third on the grid for Williams.
