Turkey form doesn't count in Monaco - Hamilton

Turkey form doesn't count in Monaco - Hamilton

18 May 2008

Lewis Hamilton may have given Ferrari a run for its money at the Turkish Grand Prix last weekend, but the McLaren driver says that will count for nothing at next weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.

"Unpredictable is the word that sums up Monaco from a performance perspective," Hamilton said. "It was a great race in Turkey, we know the performance is there, but at Monaco literally anything can happen."

"Monaco is my favourite race," he added. "You have the history all around, you can just feel it, and the atmosphere is fantastic. It is the Grand Prix that every driver wants to win. Being a street circuit it is very exciting to drive, there is no room for any error all weekend. You are on the limit the whole time, there are no long straights where you have a moment to think. It is so tight and narrow, and when you consider how quick you are driving it is unreal. To be quick you need to use every centimetre of the circuit, this even includes touching the barriers at some points."
