Check out our Montreal report card

Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari (DNF)
Could do nothing about the incident that led to his retirement, so we won’t mark him down. Until the safety car, Kimi was setting fastest laps and looking like he could threaten Lewis Hamilton. 7/10

Felipe Massa, Ferrari (5th)
An up-and-down weekend for the Brazilian, but he’ll be happy to make a small gain on Hamilton and his team-mate. Qualified poorly, but not to blame when Ferrari forced him to pit twice within two laps. Put a stunning overtaking move on Rubens Barrichello and Heikki Kovalainen.  6

Lewis Hamilton, McLaren (DNF)
Qualified brilliantly and was murdering the opposition until the needless safety car slashed his seven-second lead. Has to be marked down a couple of points for his race-ending mistake in the pit lane. 4

Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren (9th)
With his team-mate out, McLaren would have expected their second driver to score some points. But he had a poor race, partly due to tyre graining problems, and party due to overdriving his car. Must raise his game in France. 4

Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber (1st)
Qualified very strongly again, and although he might not have had the pace to get the better of Hamilton and Raikkonen, no one can argue that he didn’t deserve this victory. And for him to do so on the back of last year’s horrific crash in Montreal, is all the more admirable. 10

Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber (2nd)
Looked subdued on the podium after a very solid second place - he still hasn’t won a grand prix - but it did appear that he succumbed to team orders, when he let Kubica overtake him after the first round of safety car-enforced pit stops: “It’s clear within the team that I wouldn’t make it too difficult for Robert,” Heidfeld said, stopping short of admitting that BMW told him to give way to his team-mate. The German will see this as a lost victory. 8

Mark Webber, Red Bull (12th)
After a very impressive run of points finishes, the Aussie mysteriously had zero pace in Montreal, and was outperformed by his team-mate for the first time this season. 5

David Coulthard, Red Bull (3rd)
A welcome return to the podium. Didn’t set the place alight, but kept his nose clean and made the most of the safety car situation.  7

Nico Rosberg, Williams (10th)
Put in a great qualifying lap to start from fifth, and then moved up to fourth on the first lap with a neat move around the outside of Fernando Alonso. Was on course for a top-five finish until he got tangled up in the Hamilton pit-lane incident. 7

Kazuki Nakajima, Williams (DNF)
Going well enough until he tapped Jenson Button, damaging his front wing. When he pitted for running repairs, the wing collapsed and he crashed out. 5

Fernando Alonso, Renault (DNF)
Fast in qualifying but his race was compromised by a strategy mistake. He got stuck behind Nick Heidfeld, who had been fuelled to the finish, which “fucked up” (Alonso’s own words) his own two-stop fuel strategy. 6

Nelson Piquet Jnr, Renault (DNF)
Fell victim to brake wear and span out. Had driven well to move up the field from 15th on the grid, but continues to have no luck. 5

Jenson Button, Honda (11th)
Forced to start from the pit lane after a gearbox problem in qualifying. That scuppered the Englishman’s chances of scoring any points, although he drove a tidy enough race and at least made it to the finish, albeit more than a minute behind the winner. 5

Rubens Barrichello, Honda (6th)

A second good drive in succession by the Brazilian, and in a car that is dog-slow. However, he won’t have been too chuffed to have been overtaken by two cars at once - twice in the same race! 7

Sebastian Bourdais, Toro Rosso (DNF)
Had his “worst ever” race, and on a track that he knows from his Champ Car days. Surely his days in F1 are numbered. 3

Sebastien Vettel, Toro Rossi (8th)
Scored another unlikely, yet valuable point for his team - highly commendable given that he started from the pit lane. 7

Adrian Sutil, Force India (DNF)
After a sterling, but ultimately fruitless performance in Monaco, Montreal saw Sutil come back down to earth with a bump. Was the first retirement, after his engine gave up - his car then caught fire, bringing out the ominous safety car… you know what happened next. 5

Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India (DNF)
Likes this circuit, but never looked happy all weekend, and like his team-mate, fell victim to mechanical gremlins. 5

Jarno Trulli, Toyota (6th)
Another rock-solid performance by the Italian, who would have finished fifth, but for a late mistake by his team-mate that allowed Felipe Massa to split the Toyotas. 7

Timo Glock, Toyota (4th)
The German’s best GP of the year, by a mile. Even led the race at one stage. 8
