As he looks to 'bounce back' from his Monaco disappointment, championship leader Lewis Hamilton "could hardly ask for a better place to do that than Montreal". Back in 2007, it only took six races to F1 rookie Hamilton to secure his maiden pole and win in the sport at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The Briton enjoyed a perfect weekend on Île Notre-Dame that season, dodging the traditional Canadian Grand Prix pitfalls, including four Safety Car periods, while his rivals faltered. Eight years later, Hamilton has two world titles, 36 race victories and 43 pole positions to his name.
