The Canada F1 Grand Prix is known for its lavish parties, and the event attracts celebrities every year. CJ Fogler snapped a picture of Carmelo Anthony taking in the action from one of the hospitality tents:

But the real star of this year's Grand Prix was undoubtedly Vettel, who made winning look easy against the top F1 drivers in the world. 

Coming down the final stretch, he continued to push the pace, setting the fastest lap of the race while Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas battled it out for second place, as noted by ESPN F1:

With just a handful or laps remaining in the race, Alonso took second place from Hamilton on a tight pass, as noted by F1 Paddock Pass:

American racer Conor Daly put it best as he described how much better Vettel was on Sunday than any other driver on the track:

BadgerGP.com joked about Vettel's dominance, saying he was already on the podium before the race was even finished:

Ewan Marshall appreciated Vettel's excellence and noted that the win was Red Bull's first at this venue:

Final Word

Nobody on the planet is in the same league as Vettel when it comes to F1 racing.

The German is simply amazing. At the age of 25, he's already one of the sport's greatest all-time racers. Edd Straw of Autosport noted after his win in Canada on Sunday that it was Vettel's 29th career F1 victory—the sixth-most wins of all time:

It's hard to imagine how great a legacy Vettel will leave behind if he continues winning at the pace he has thus far in his young career. 

Right now, it's nice to just sit back and watch a master go about his business.
