Hamilton ready to continue strong performance in Monaco

Lewis Hamilton is looking forward to the Monaco Grand Prix. The British McLaren driver has admitted he always dreamed of racing through the streets of Monte Carlo in a Formula 1 car. This weekend he can clinch his third win in three years of racing.

In 2006 Lewis Hamilton won the Monaco Grand Prix in the GP2 Series, and in 2005 he won the race in the narrows streets in the F3 Euroseries. Hamilton hopes he can continue this line of victories on Sunday.

Speaking about the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix he said: "I am really looking forward to Monaco. It is one of the tracks I have always dreamed of racing at in Formula 1, particularly having competed there for the past two seasons in the F3 Euroseries and GP2."

As exciting as he is he furthermore said: "For me it is the best circuit of the year, there is nowhere like it for getting the adrenaline going, because the track is so tight and there are no run-off areas, you have to be incredibly precise, there is no room for error and as a driver that makes it all the more exciting. I have always run well at Monaco, having won there on my previous two visits to the race. I am going to the race again this year with the intention of fighting for the win, but that is the case at everything I compete in. However we do have to keep being realistic, this will be my fifth race in Formula 1 and I am still developing. We have to focus on keeping scoring points for both the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships and take it step by step."
