Mercedes AMG Petronas stormed to a 1-2 finish at the Canadian Grand Prix with Lewis Hamilton winning from Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo completing the podium. It was a nightmare for Ferrari and a dream race for Force India as well. With a Safety Car and a Virtual Safety Car thrown in the mix, the Canadian GP had action and drama to spice things up. Here is how Twitter reacted to the eventful race.
