Lewis Hamilton has won the Canadian Grand Prix from Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas with Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo finishing third in his Red Bull.

Ricciardo celebrated the achievement by doing his now-famous ‘shoey’ in front of a cheering Montreal crowd and then encouraging post-race interviewer Sir Patrick Stewart to do one of his own on the podium.

The Star Trek actor was interviewing the smiling Australian before Ricciardo said “I have to do something.”

To the delight of the Canadian crowd he pulled off his boot, poured some champagne and drank up, before asking Stewart if he wanted some.

Before Stewart could change his mind Ricciardo pulled off his other boot and filled it with champagne, before Stewart said “Cheers” and quaffed it.

The 76-year-old then proudly announced “I’ll drink out of anybody’s shoe!”

While Ricciardo was laughing on the podium, he had a tough race, fending off the challenge of Force India drivers Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon over the last 15 laps.

“Today I only had fun when I saw the chequered flag,” Ricciardo said.

“It was tough I was defending the whole race and we weren’t that quick to be honest.

“So it’s awesome to be on the podium here in Canada.”

While the Mercedes pair streeted the field it was a stellar drive from Ricciardo, who managed to make his way onto the podium for a third straight race after starting in sixth.

Hamilton led all the way after taking pole position but was under attack early when Max Verstappen got a huge jump off the grid, launching his Red Bull from fifth to second by the first corner.

At the third corner Romain Grosjean, and Carlos Sainz got into a tangle, which resulted in Sainz’s Toro Rosso spearing across the track, clipping the Williams of Felipe Massa and hitting the wall.

The incident ended both their days and brought out the safety car.

At the restart Verstappen attacked Hamilton hard, almost making a pass that would have changed the race. A few laps later his day was done as his Red Bull succumbed to what was most likely a power unit failure.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel also suffered front wing damage at the restart and had to pit for a new nose.

The German then produced a storming drive to finish fourth, overtaking the Force India of Sergio Perez on the penultimate lap.

Ricciardo then had enough of a gap to hold off the faster Ferrari on the final lap.
