Lewis Hamilton has increased his lead in the drivers' championship after winning the Canadian Grand Prix from teammate Nico Rosberg.

The Briton, who missed out on an almost-certain race victory in Monaco after being told to pit by his Mercedes team, rarely looked in trouble as he took the chequered flag.

All of the top drivers managed to hold their place through turn one with only Pastor Maldonado losing out at the start to Nico Hulkenberg before the Venezuelan finished ahead of the Force India driver.

Sebastian Vettel, who had a nightmare in qualifying and started from 18th, quickly moved through the field before taking fifth place for Ferrari, behind teammate Kimi Raikkonen.

Raikkonen started from third on the grid, but was eventually beaten to a podium place by the Williams of Valtteri Bottas.

For McLaren, it was another day to forget as Fernando Alonso retired on lap 44 with an apparent lack of power from the Honda engine.

During the race, Fernando Alonso reacted angrily to instructions from his pit wall to preserve fuel, with the Spaniard keen to race as hard as possible.

Jenson Button was then asked to retire his car on lap 54 as the Woking-based team's difficult season continued.
