Lewis Hamilton withstands lap after lap of intense pressure on worn tyres to win a nail-biting Monaco Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton celebrates winning the Monaco Grand Prix with second place Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and third place Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas, May 26, 2019
Bottas, who was involved in a pitlane collision with Verstappen on lap 12 that led to the Dutch driver's penalty for an unsafe release, finished third. Hamilton and Verstappen finished under investigation after they banged wheels going into the chicane at the tunnel exit two laps from the end when the Dutchman tried to pass, but stewards took no further action.Hamilton, who started on pole, had earlier had some anxious and angry exchanges with his team who admitted they had made a mistake with their tyre selection.
"That was an incredible drive. There was no one else who could have done that," Mercedes chief strategist James Vowles told him over the radio. "The pressure felt immense and there was every opportunity to crack today under that pressure," he said. "I was determined not to crack. The youngster, who had vowed to be aggressive after a Ferrari strategy blunder messed up his qualifying, paid the price when he tried the same move on Renault's Nico Hulkenberg at Rascasse.
