Top 10 tweets from Canadian GP qualifying

Nico Rosberg beat Lewis Hamilton in yesterday’s qualifying session at Montreal to record his second consecutive pole position. The result is a bitter blow for Hamilton who has a good record here, having stood on the top step of the podium thrice in his career.

Behind the Mercedes duo, Sebastian Vettel drove like a champion to outpace the two Williams who looked strong all weekend, and qualify in third place. Fernando Alonso again had the edge over Kimi Raikkonen while Jenson Button and Daniil Kvyat did a commendable job by making it into Q3.

Here are the top 10 tweets from qualifying:

Yes Lewis, you gotta praise your teammate when he does a better job.

#F1 Lewis Hamilton "Nico did a fantastic job, it wasn't the greatest qualifying session - let's hope we can make history tomorrow"

A great lap by Vettel to outqualify the two Williams but this sounds worrying; we are only into the seventh race of the season.

Yikes! Vettel and Kobash have both now used 5 Control Electronics units... with the next change they'll get a grid penalty.

Says it all.

Alonso "Mercedes is not a surprise. Williams And Red Bull were faster. We're 7th And 10th for a reason, the others are much faster than us"

That's how close as it gets without you doing a Maldonado!

Close enough to the wall at turn four there for Raikkonen? I think so... #F1 pic.twitter.com/ZHGqbWGeiC

Not only did he outqualify Bianchi, he also thought he could have even made it into Q2 without the red flag.

Well done to Max Chilton, outqualifying Jules Bianchi. #Marussia making big gains this weekend

Practically, how much is 0.096s? Any idea?

On his final lap, @LewisHamilton locked up at turn 8 and lost 0.096s. Pole was ultimately decided by 0.068s, it's THAT close @MercedesAMGF1

No matter how much we criticize Maldonado, luck hasn't been on his side this season.

'@Pastormaldo's problem in Q1 was related to the turbo intake. He lost power and was told to stop
