Button, who earlier had squeezed team mate and fellow Briton Lewis Hamilton into the wall and out of the race, salvaged the weekend for his team by battling back to deny Vettel a sixth victory in seven races.
Vettel, who skidded wide under pressure, recovered from his error to take second place ahead of Australian team mate Mark Webber in a chaotic race that was halted for more than two hours as driving rain lashed the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Seven times world champion Michael Schumacher, a seven times winner in Canada, narrowly missed out on the first podium of his comeback by bringing his Mercedes home in fourth place in a race full of incident.
Vettel leads the championship standings with 161 points to Button’s 101.
