CANADIAN GRAND PRIX - HAMILITON WON, AS VETTEL LOST IT...... P. 1.

'It seem to be of the nature of humans, that we are often distracted by and weigh too heavily, the 'what could have or did not happen', than we are by what has actually occurred.' 

If for nothing else, and there were, indeed, many more race aspects which counted, the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix was most memorable for how it ended. 

This was because it was Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes, and not Sebastian Vettel and Team Mercedes, that won it.  

Even though the camera and the eyes of spectators at the Circuit Gilles Villenueve were not  deceiving them.  

As it showed Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari car being the first to greet the Checkered Flag at the end of the 70th lap of the Grand Prix.

The sad fact for Vettel and Team Ferrari - in fact, for everybody watching and probably those participating in the race, including Hamilton and Team Mercedes.  

Was that Vettel lost the race on his way towards winning it, when he made a mistake or error in navigating Turn 3. 

In doing so, and to the great consternation of millions of people watching, it seems, he had incurred a 5 point penalty.  

Which promoted the unyielding pursuit of Hamilton from his P.2 track finish, to that of P.1. 

It was an ambivalent and poignant win for Hamilton, as he rued Vettel's, his friend's, misfortune.  Which seemingly, has been the price which fate demanded for his, Hamilton's, own good fortune. On this occasion.
