MONTREAL (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix for Mercedes in controversial fashion on Sunday after Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel crossed the finish line first but was given a five-second penalty. At the same time, Mercedes were telling Hamilton to just "stay in Vettel's gearbox" and take a gifted victory. The decision to penalise Vettel allowed Mercedes to extend their season-long domination, making it seven wins in seven races, including five in one-two formation. Bottas finished fourth and unhappy Ferrari took the other two places on the podium, Vettel in second and Charles Leclerc third. Vettel made it clear later that he was not directing his anger at Hamilton but reserved all his venom for the stewards.
