(Attention language in paras five and 15) Lewis Hamilton celebrated a memorable ...
MONACO - Lewis Hamilton celebrated a memorable Monaco pole position on Saturday before speaking eloquently of the debt he owed to friend and late triple world champion Niki Lauda.
On Saturday, as he led a Mercedes front-row sweep in qualifying for the most-watched race of the year, he took a leaf out of Lauda’s book and used one of the late great’s favourite expressions. Mercedes have won the first five races of the season in one-two formation, with Hamilton seven points clear of team mate Valtteri Bottas.
The 34-year-old Briton has won four titles with Mercedes, joining from McLaren in 2013 when the team were still a long way from success. Lauda was instrumental in persuading him. “He was such a racer and even though he wasn’t racing himself he would come up to us and say; ‘what could we do better, what needs to be improved on the car?,’ he recalled.
