Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel will start on pole in Montreal, with Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes joining him on the front row.

Vettel edged Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas by 0.093 seconds as Red Bull’s Max Verstappen sneaked ahead of Hamilton with his final lap.

Hamilton was unusually out of sorts on a track at which he has excelled so many times, and a series of mistakes left him struggling to keep up.

He was 0.232secs off the pace.

Vettel, who is 14 points behind Hamilton in the championship and has a great chance to make up ground, said: “Yesterday we were a bit in trouble and I just couldn’t get the rhythm, but today it switched on and what a day.

“The car was incredible.”
