The common consensus in the paddock following the Canadian Grand Prix was that Force India blundered its way out of a podium through indecision in the second half of the race.
The chaotic start to the race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve strengthened Force India's already encouraging position, with Felipe Massa -- driving the only Williams which looked likely to compete for a big haul of points -- wiped out at the fourth corner and Sebastian Vettel dropping to the back of the field for an unscheduled pit stop. The situation got even better when Max Verstappen pulled his fast-starting Red Bull over to the side of the road.
