As Michael Douglas (no complaints, Falling Down is a great movie) interviews the podium finishers, we will wrap up our live coverage here.
Here's our report from what ultimately was a very good Canadian Grand Prix - even if some might feel a lack of tyre degradation robbed us of a showdown for the win.
Thanks for following with us, and we'll see you next time.

A fun stat pointed out on television - Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are now level on career points, 1974.
Hamilton has 10 more starts.

It's a very cheerful podium, this - Vettel certainly not looking like he's upset to finish runner-up.
Perhaps Ferrari just could not do a one-stopper today.

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," says Hamilton, a homage to the late Muhammad Ali.
Raikkoenn holds off Ricciardo for sixth, as Hulkenberg, Sainz and Perez make up the points.
Max Verstappen takes fourth, with Rosberg fifth.
The German had already been ahead of Verstappen with DRS into the final chicane, but then lost it under braking. He's lucky to finish.

That's the fifth win in Canada for Hamilton.
Vettel is is second, 5s off, while Bottas brings it home for Williams' first podium of the year in third.
Chequered Flag
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton wins the 2016 Canadian Grand Prix.
He's spun out while DRSing past Verstappen. He continues, however, and has kept P5.
Crash
Rosberg makes a MASSIVE mistake under braking!
Meanwhile, Hamilton starts his final lap of the race.
Rosberg has two laps to take care of Verstappen, who's about to find traffic.
An angry Raikkonen complains about the Manor in front of him.
Rosberg back within a second of Verstappen.
Still seven seconds between Hamilton and Vettel.
At this point, even if Hamilton's set of softs found that nebulous "cliff", he'd probably still have enough of a gap to ahng on.
No cliff in sight, though. He's still proper quick.

For P4, however, there should be a fight.
In theory. But Max Verstappen has now broken 1.1s away from Rosberg.
In theory. But Max Verstappen has now broken 1.1s away from Rosberg.
Five laps to go. Podium looks set.
More excellent defending from Verstappen as Rosberg again has to take the outside line in the final chicane.
"Can I stop now?," asks Alonso.
Verstappen is putting up a fight - forces Rosberg to go round the outside at the final chicane and then at Turn 1.
Verstappen's defensive heroics were on display a couple of races ago, of course, but he'll almost certainly have no chance against the Mercedes here.
Rosberg has arrived at the back of Verstappen - just a second off now.
Gap between Hamilton and Vettel back up to seven seconds.
Stopwatch
Another fastest lap by Rosberg: 1:15.599.
Nine to go. Valtteri Bottas on 37-lap-old softs is now no slower than Verstappen and his 16-lap-old ultrasofts.
What degradation?

Stopwatch
Rosberg flying again: 1:15.843.
Verstappen six tenths off Bottas, but Rosberg is less than five behind the Dutchman and he is fast.
Hamilton has just set his best personal lap. Vettel two tenths slower.
10 laps to go. Against odds, the softs are holding on so far.
Rosberg passes Raikkonen down the inside into the final chicane. Quality move for P5.
Rosberg lining up Raikkonen, whose softs are much, much older. Matter of time.
So that makes it six seconds between them.
Hamilton 4.1 seconds ahead of Vettel now, but the German has just cut through the chicane.
