+ | The [[DRS]] zones were changed from [[2011 Canadian Grand Prix|2011]]. In 2011, the DRS zone was 650 metres along the main straight, followed by a secondary zone on the start/finish straight. In 2012, however, the DRS zone down the main straight has been shortened to 600 metres, with no secondary zone. This was done because overtaking was considered to be too easy in 2011. |

[[Lewis Hamilton]] set the fastest time in FP1, over a tenth of a second quicker than second-fastest [[Sebastian Vettel]], who only set his fastest with a few minutes remaining. He and [[Bruno Senna]] were investigated by the stewards, as Vettel held up Senna before the last chicane, but no action was taken. [[Heikki Kovalainen]] crashed 50 minutes into the session at turn 9, which stopped the session for ten minutes. [[Jenson Button]]'s car had an oil leak in the morning, and {{McLaren-CON}} have had to change the seal on his car's gearbox, although he was able to do some running in the practice session. |

Fifteen minutes later, the session was restarted. [[Jenson Button]] managed to get his some distance in his [[McLaren MP4-27]] after his car underwent more repairs, although his lap times were not ideal, and he was ninth-fastest in the session. |

In a relatively uneventful session, [[Sebastian Vettel]] came top, but the top seven cars were within just four tenths of a second. [[Fernando Alonso]] set the second best time, and [[Lewis Hamilton]] came in third-fastest. The only incidents involved [[Nico Rosberg]] after about five minutes, with a fuel connector issue; and [[Jean-Éric Vergne]] after roughly fifteen minutes, when he crashed at turn two. Both incidents brought out [[Flag System|yellow flags]], and neither driver set a time during the session. |

About the same time, {{Toro Rosso-CON}}'s [[Jean-Éric Vergne]] was handed a drive-thorugh penalty for speeding in the [[pit lane]]. |

+ | On lap 50, Hamilton pitted, and emerged in third place, ahead of fourth-placed [[Mark Webber]], just as Hamilton was coming up to lap his team-mate, [[Jenson Button]]. Hamilton then started to set a string of fastest laps. [[Timo Glock]] retired on lap 60, with brake issues, like the HRTs. Eventually, on lap 62, Hamilton catches Vettel and takes second place with the aid of DRS. Vettel pits on lap 63, and falls to fifth. Hamilton overtook Alonso with DRS on lap 64. On lap 66, Grosjean, on the same strategy as Alonso, speeds past with ease. [[Sergio Pérez]] passed Alonso, who was finishing the race about four seconds slower than his rivals. Alonso was passed by Vettel at the hairpin on lap 69, not even needing the DRS. |
Hamilton won the race to become the seventh winner in seven races. Second was Grosjean, and Pérez completed the podium. Vettel came fourth. Alonso came in fifth, only 0.4 seconds ahead of Rosberg. Webber was seventh, Räikkönen eighth, Kobayashi ninth and Massa tenth. Button came in 16th, a lap down on his team-mate. |

Latest revision as of 23:06, 29 March 2018
The 2012 Canadian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2012) was a Formula One race that took place on June 10th, 2012 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada.
Sebastian Vettel took pole position, but finished fourth. Lewis Hamilton won the race, ahead of Romain Grosjean and Sergio Pérez.
Background[]
After complaints from McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari and Lotus during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend that the design of the floor of the Red Bull car is illegal,[1] Red Bull were forced to alter the design of the floor of the car after FIA technical head Charlie Whiting informed all the teams that "fully enclosed holes may not be located" in that area of the car.[2]
The DRS zones were changed from 2011. In 2011, the DRS zone was 650 metres along the main straight, followed by a secondary zone on the start/finish straight. In 2012, however, the DRS zone down the main straight has been shortened to 600 metres, with no secondary zone. This was done because overtaking was considered to be too easy in 2011.
In the championship race, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso leads Red Bull's second-placed Sebastian Vettel and third-placed Mark Webber by three points. Vettel is ahead of Webber on second places.
In the constructors' championship, Red Bull-Renault lead McLaren-Mercedes by 38 points.
Entry list[]
The full entry list for the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix is shown below:
Practice Overview[]
Free Practice 1 (Friday)[]
Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time in FP1, over a tenth of a second quicker than second-fastest Sebastian Vettel, who only set his fastest with a few minutes remaining. He and Bruno Senna were investigated by the stewards, as Vettel held up Senna before the last chicane, but no action was taken. Heikki Kovalainen crashed 50 minutes into the session at turn 9, which stopped the session for ten minutes. Jenson Button's car had an oil leak in the morning, and McLaren have had to change the seal on his car's gearbox, although he was able to do some running in the practice session.
Free Practice 2 (Friday)[]
As in FP1, Lewis Hamilton topped the timesheets, this time ahead of Fernando Alonso. Also similar to FP1, there was an accident about fifty minutes into the session, as Bruno Senna crashed his Williams into the Wall of Champions (the right-hand wall of the start/finish line), bringing out a red flag. Fifteen minutes later, the session was restarted. Jenson Button managed to get his some distance in his McLaren MP4-27 after his car underwent more repairs, although his lap times were not ideal, and he was ninth-fastest in the session.
Free Practice 3 (Saturday)[]
In a relatively uneventful session, Sebastian Vettel came top, but the top seven cars were within just four tenths of a second. Fernando Alonso set the second best time, and Lewis Hamilton came in third-fastest. The only incidents involved Nico Rosberg after about five minutes, with a fuel connector issue; and Jean-Éric Vergne after roughly fifteen minutes, when he crashed at turn two. Both incidents brought out yellow flags, and neither driver set a time during the session.

Q3[]
Sebastian Vettel set pole position over Lewis Hamilton, beating him by three-tenths of a second. Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso qualified third. Vettel's Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber came in fourth. Fifth was Nico Rosberg, just ahead of Felipe Massa. Romain Grosjean, the sole Lotus in the top 10, qualified seventh, ahead of the only Force India in the Q3, Paul di Resta. Ninth was Michael Schumacher, and a long way back in tenth was McLaren driver Jenson Button.
Post-Qualifying[]
Pastor Maldonado had his gearbox changed, which resulted in a five-place grid penalty.

Race[]
Report[]
The race started without incident, with Sebastian Vettel holding his lead from pole. The first round of pit stops started on lap 13 with Felipe Massa coming in. When the three leaders, Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso pit in that order, the come out with Alonso in front, Hamilton behind and Vettel in third of the leaders. Hamilton overtakes Alonso, and inherits the lead when Romain Grosjean pitted. Hamilton then set a string of fastest laps to stretch his lead to four seconds in fifteen laps.
Narain Karthikeyan was the first retirement, who retired his car with braking issues a few corners after spinning in turn 1. Karthikeyan's HRT team-mate, Pedro de la Rosa retired a laps later, also with brake issues. On lap 45, Michael Schumacher's DRS jammed open, forcing him to retire. About the same time, Toro Rosso's Jean-Éric Vergne was handed a drive-thorugh penalty for speeding in the pit lane.
On lap 50, Hamilton pitted, and emerged in third place, ahead of fourth-placed Mark Webber, just as Hamilton was coming up to lap his team-mate, Jenson Button. Hamilton then started to set a string of fastest laps. Timo Glock retired on lap 60, with brake issues, like the HRTs. Eventually, on lap 62, Hamilton catches Vettel and takes second place with the aid of DRS. Vettel pits on lap 63, and falls to fifth. Hamilton overtook Alonso with DRS on lap 64. On lap 66, Grosjean, on the same strategy as Alonso, speeds past with ease. Sergio Pérez passed Alonso, who was finishing the race about four seconds slower than his rivals. Alonso was passed by Vettel at the hairpin on lap 69, not even needing the DRS.
Hamilton won the race to become the seventh winner in seven races. Second was Grosjean, and Pérez completed the podium. Vettel came fourth. Alonso came in fifth, only 0.4 seconds ahead of Rosberg. Webber was seventh, Räikkönen eighth, Kobayashi ninth and Massa tenth. Button came in 16th, a lap down on his team-mate.
