All three sessions were filled to the brim with action. Jean-Eric Vergne came together with the tyre wall in FP3 and his bad luck continued, failing to get into Q2 for the fourth time this season and on top of that was out qualified by both Caterhams. Another shocker of the session see's Pedro De La Rosa in the HRT start ahead of both Charles Pic and Timo Glock in the Marussia's.
Jenson Button has Pastor Maldonado to thank for saving his butt in Q2. The Venezuelan on his final hot lap was about to eliminate the 2009 world champion, but took the final chicane too quickly and crashed into the famous 'wall of champions'. Maldonado starts 17th with Bruno Senna lining up next to him in 16th.
Q3 would see the battle of the teams commence with a number of candidates who could take pole position. Nico Rosberg set the early pace in the session and a flying lap from defending world champion Sebastian Vettel saw him get provisional pole with a 1.13.905 only to put himself further ahead with a 1.13.784 and out of Lewis Hamilton's reach who joins him on the front row of the grid.
Fernando Alonso had to settle for 3rd, with pole position in the picture a poor final sector from the Spaniard cost him from heading the grid for the Canadian Grand Prix.
Here's a list of the full times set in Qualifying
Canada sure knows how to throw an exciting qualifying so I wonder what it will throw for us in the race?
