Lewis wins Monaco Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton fought back from an early barrier-bending puncture to win an incident-filled Monaco Grand Prix.

A wet start to the race meant the treacherous street circuit become an obstacle course that few front wings survived. It was the theme of the day as drivers tapped one another or shunted with the barriers, limping back to their pits for quick repairs before heading out again.

Surprisingly, though, only six drivers failed to finish the incident-packed race. However, only one, Hamilton, actually benefited from his minor crash.

It allowed the Brit to pit early for fuel and tyres, putting him in contention for the victory while the early leader and pole position man Felipe Massa took the conservative approach which cost him any chance of winning. In fact it even cost him second place which Robert Kubica took off him in the second round of pit stops.

Mark Webber eventually finished fourth after a late Safety Car saw the field bunch up and Kimi Raikkonen take out Adrian Sutil. They had been on course to finish fourth and fifth with the Force India driver showing Raikkonen how it's done in Monte Carlo.

Bravo

It was an awesome race, have to feel sorry for Adrian Sutil who was on course for 4th when Raikkonen punted him out.

Lewis was amazing, he took lines that no one else could and no once could match him, he managed to pull out a 36 second lead over massa before his pit stop at a rate of 1.5 seconds a lap

gaz

i cnt watch it i think its boreing just like cricket and darts but it nice to see a brittish lad doing well tho
