The 2014 Canadian Grand Prix, formally known as the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2014, was a Formula One motor race that took place on 8 June 2014 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Won by Daniel Ricciardo, the race was the seventh round of the 2014 season, and marked the 51st Canadian Grand Prix. This is the sixth race in Grand Prix history to end behind the safety car, after a last lap collision between Felipe Massa and Sergio Pérez.
Ricciardo became the fourth Australian to win a Formula One Grand Prix following on from Jack Brabham, Alan Jones and the man he replaced at Red Bull Racing for the 2014 season, Mark Webber.
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought its yellow-banded soft compound tyre as the harder "prime" tyre and the red-banded supersoft compound tyre as the softer "option" tyre, as opposed to the previous year where medium and super-soft selections were provided.
Three practice sessions were held before the race; the first on Friday morning and the second on Friday afternoon. Both sessions lasted one and a half hours. The third session was held on Saturday morning and lasted an hour.
Fernando Alonso set the fastest time in the first practice session, ahead of Lewis Hamilton. In the second practice session, Hamilton went fastest ahead of Nico Rosberg. Hamilton was fastest again in the third practice session, ahead of Felipe Massa.
The qualifying session held on Saturday afternoon was split into three parts. The first part ran for 18 minutes and eliminated the cars from qualifying that finished the session 17th or lower. The second part of qualifying lasted 15 minutes and eliminated cars that finished in positions 11 to 16. The final part of qualifying determined the positions from first to tenth, and decided pole position. Cars which completed in the final session of qualifying were not allowed to change tyres before the race, and as such started the race on the tyres they set their quickest lap on.
