Pretty good race that, love Canada. All the top eight or so drivers were very impressive with the exception of Raikkonen who will probably be half arsed the rest of the year knowing that Ferrari won't let him compete with Vettel. @Cannabis favourite driver Stroll scores his first F1 points in 9th.

Alonso out with two laps left. Would have scored a point too. Vettel past Perez. Force India needed to let Ocon through before, could have been on the podium potentially. Alonso - "Engine. Engine problem." Not happy, Honda have been a disaster.

Perez has absolutely shafted his team today.

Amazingly strong pace from Force India today. Ricciardo looks to be struggling for some reason while Vettel is on ancient tyres, could see a Pink Panther on the podium here.

Verstappen breaks down. Now we'll see if Bottas can challenge Hamilton. Could see a surprise podium finisher now as Ricciardo seems to be under a bit of pressure from Perez.

Vettel pits and changes his front wing which was damaged after he clipped Verstappen at turn one. Down to 18th but may be able to go without another stop. Hamilton has this won now unless something odd happens. Bottas not troubling Verstappen at the moment, Kimi down in 6th.

Big crash at the start, Sainz tipped into a spin by another car and wipes Massa out on his way into the barriers. Vettel passed by Verstappen and Bottas off the start line, looked like he was boxed in quite badly and his front wing looked damaged to me but he hasn't pitted. Safety car out...

Bugger, Ireland equalised then went on to have a goal disallowed and a penalty appeal turned down.

No luck here, Ireland 0-1 down with just over ten minutes left.

I'd forgotten that Rafa Nadal's uncle was actually a Barcelona player. Rafa is a big Real Madrid fan oddly enough

Rafael Nadal wins his TENTH French Open title with a 6-2 6-3 6-1 win over Wawrinka. Most would have expected him to win but I don't think many would have called it being that one-sided. I was nervous about putting money on him to win in straight sets! That's a 15th grand slam title and his first since French Open 2014. He moves back up to world number 2 tomorrow with Stan becoming number 3, Djokovic dropping behind both of them to 4th. Nadal also leads the year-to-date rankings by almost 3000 points ahead of Roger Federer which is unbelievable at this stage.

Stan getting taught an ugly lesson here by Rafa so far. He's just held but Rafa now serving at 6-2, 3-1 and in imperious form.

7pm UK time apparently.

TREBLE - Lewis Hamilton to win Canadian Grand Prix - Rafael Nadal to win French Open final in straight sets - Rep. of Ireland to beat Austria Odds: 5.85/1

Palmer needs to go the way of Chilton unfortunately.

Hamilton should take this one, arguably his best circuit and the Mercedes looks to have the upper hand, although that's been the case in qualifying on a few occasions this year without it always translating into the race. Bottas has had a poor qualifying there with the gap to his team-mate, happened a few times too many for him this season, he needs to make sure he doesn't get mugged off too badly by Hamilton and Vettel in the race tomorrow.

Annoys me when we do this as well. For example, Conor McAleny was about 23 before we stopped sending him on loans to League One and Two and finally sold him. Pennington looks a similar case from what he showed in his first team appearances this season.

Nadal beats Thiem 6-3, 6-4, 6-0. I still think Thiem has a big future and will probably be a favourite to win the French Open and possibly other majors once the big four generation stop being so greedy.

Wawrinka defeats Murray in a 6-7, 6-3, 5-7, 7-6, 6-1 epic, absolutely red-lined that final set. Whatever happens in the final, he will move ahead of Novak Djokovic in the rankings, who is down to 4th, shockingly. If Stan wins the tournament he'll actually become world #2. I will be supporting Rafa (or Thiem) against him though as I can't stand the thought of a guy like Stan having more slams than Murray after all the missed opportunities for Andy. A decent tournament from Murray. He'll be disappointed to lose that having been 2-1 up with the fourth set going to a tie break but there was no stopping Stan in that last set. Poor performances in the Masters events costing him time on court may have contributed to his apparent lack of match fitness in the final set, not taking anything away from Wawrinka though. Andy should have given himself some momentum in this run though which is hugely important going into Queen's Club and Wimbledon where he'll have to start defending his huge points haul from the second half of 2016.

Got in just in time to see Murray lose the fourth set tie break, now Stan is 5-0 up and serving for the match in the fifth. Sake.

Players don't officially move until July 1 in most cases

Transfer window hasn't even opened yet lads. Missing out on paying 70 fucking million for a decent centre back is a blessing and the other targets will probably get sorted.

I know he loves to blow hot air and come across as a cocky sod but when he says he's come to England to prove himself here and he's been successful, you can't disagree. Great season at his age, for him I suppose it's off to tick another box somewhere else because he's done what he came to do in this league.

Nishikori melted away there, very solid from Murray anyway though.
