Hamilton wins third Canadian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix for the third time on Sunday and made his McLaren Mercedes the seventh car in as many Formula One races to win this season.

Hamilton roared past defending F1 champion Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull and Fernando Alonso's Ferrari late in the 70-lap race to take the checkered flag with a 2.5-second gap over Romain Grosjean's Lotus.

Hamilton, the 2008 world champion, won in Canada in 2007 and 2010, but was bumped out early last year when his teammate Jenson Button claimed the win. Sergio Perez was third for Sauber, with Vettel fourth, Alonso fifth, Nico Rosberg sixth in a Petronas Mercedes, Mark Webber of Red Bull seventh, Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus in eighth, Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber ninth and Felipe Massa of Ferrari 10th.
